Christmas at the Vinyl Cafe

by Stuart McLean

Book Overview

Including five new, never before published Christmas stories and the classic "Dave Cooks the Turkey," this special collection from the Vinyl Cafe is Stuart McLean at his finest.

Christmas has always been a special time at the Vinyl Cafe. For two decades, Stuart McLean travelled across the country every December with The Vinyl Cafe Christmas tour, bringing the gift of laughter and light during the darkest days of the year. The hilarious world of Dave and Morley was even more real--more vibrant--during the holidays. For many, the Vinyl Cafe Christmas stories became beloved family traditions. From mishaps with the Turlingtons and the tale of a young Dave's first holiday disaster to the surprising "Christmas Ferret" and the touching sign-off in "The Christmas Card," these wonderful new stories will delight for years to come.

Brimming with charm and humour (often at Dave's expense), these twelve stories entertain on every page, reminding us what the holidays are all about.

Customer Reviews

I loved every story , I laughed out loud or yelled oh no !

This is the best collection of Christmas stories I have ever read ! Laugh out loud funny ! No wonder this book is out of stock continuously. I read a chapter a night for 2 weeks and fell asleep with a smile on my face ! This family has seen it all at Christmas time . You plan and hope and work hard at Christmas to make it perfect ! Instead you get strange but , instead the craziness of this holiday for this family goes off the rails ! Jm the end though wonderful or funny outcomes and something amazing always happens. It's like Dave is a walking disaster! I'm buying these books for all my friends as a gift next year . It's to late to get them in time this year but , next year I will have them rolling in laughter thanks to Dave !
