I Killed Father Christmas — Anthony McGowan

Jo-Jo''s mum and dad are arguing again - but this time it''s on Christmas Eve and Jo-Jo''s convinced it''s all his fault. He''s been spoiled, selfish and greedy - and his badness has actually killed Father Christmas. To make amends, Jo-Jo decides that he must be Father Christmas - and so he fills sacks with his old toys and puts on Mum''s long red coat. But then a magical encounter with the real Father Christmas shows Jo-Jo that the true message of Christmas is the giving of love, not of gifts.
