This is the story of Fairleigh Christmas. She travels around every Christmas Eve to bring magic to each Christmas tree. But lately she's been feeling under appreciated, and really fed up with that image of some guy in a bright red suit. She's grumpy, and would much rather be lazing on a beach in Barbados than travelling around to every home, when they don't even know she exists. But then she visits the house of sister and brother, sullen Ella and hopeful Caleb, lost and alone and wanting to make a Christmas wish. Of course, they have to set a trap for Father Christmas first, and catching Fairleigh wasn't quite what they expected. A quirky, uplifting story, explaining the whole 'who puts the presents under the tree' question, and restoring faith in the Magic of Christmas.
