...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. Ross hasn't been himself lately, as we see through a series of flashbacks. We first meet Ross, a big guy with a shaved head, at a tent revival in the middle of the town.

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...
