This Year It Will Be Different, and other stories by Maeve Binchy

Christmas short stories. My favorite in this collection of Christmas themed short stories was the title story, ‘This Year It Will Be Different’ in which the matriarch of the family is just worn out from the effort of many too Christmases past. She does the majority of the work getting ready for Christmas. This year she lets her family take over planning Christmas with interesting results. I also liked ‘Season of Fuss’, where sometimes the joy of the season is in all the fuss.
