This was a slapstick short story about Christmas, the silly side. A quick, funny read.

[Bernard Jan · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I’ve read this novella during the Xmas time, I would be less depressed than I was on that day.

Jonathan Hill is again brilliant in making me laugh with his natural sense of humor. Throughout the whole story you grin at Maureen’s wickedness and silliness, and then he makes your eye shine with a stranded tear of her kindness.

Even if Xmas is not your favorite time of the year, you will like the warmth and find joy in reading Mo Mo Mo! Merry Christmas, Maureen! story.

Thanks, J, for your gift!

Dear old Maureen! Apart from eating and drinking, she usually only opens her mouth to change feet. This time, under the baleful influence of a certain red coat, she is uncharacteristically hurtful, shocking even herself. Something’s up and someone bears a grudge. Her friends Louisa and Tim also feature and, as usual with Jonathan Hill, the slapstick is interspersed with thoughtful sections. I particularly liked Tim and Maureen comparing experiences of loneliness. Light and dark, silly and sad, it’s all in here. Cheers, dears!

Santa Maureen oh dear!

Santa for a local charity is out with a hernia so Maureen is drafted in as a replacement due to her body shape! Only issue is wearing the Santa jacket turns her into a diva with no filter from her brain to mouth.
A nice bit with Tim her neighbour and some with Louisa.
Thank you for another entertaining Maureen story

I'm coming to expect my annual Christmas chuckle now. Maureen is in fine form, mostly fuelled by sherry as usual, in an adventure featuring a vindictive elf with superglue and a magic Santa suit - and a trip to A&E, of course. Looking forward to next Christmas already!

Hahah!! One to make you smile on every page. When Santa has developed a hernia and Maureen has to step in (because she fits the costume) things can only go from bad to worse, especially when she thinks the coat has its own magic. I won't say to much as this is a short (under an hour) read but if you want something to lift your spirits over the festive season and bring a smile then this could be the very read.
