...Gareth, the foodboy, works in a hotel kitchen in Llanparc, Wales. As the story begins he walks along a lonely mountain road carrying a sack filled with a souvenir snow globe and a steak of raw Welsh lamb. He's going to meet his friend Ross, and feed him.

The kids can even hand deliver their Christmas letters at Santa Claus' post office, which comes complete with a souvenir shop manned by elves. The experience is every bit as kitsch as it sounds, but your children-and the child in you-will love...
