Dads are famously tricky to buy for. Most of them already have what they need, and many would rather you didn’t spend anything at all.
If that conversation sounds familiar, you are not alone. Every December, countless people stand in shops or scroll late into the night, trying to find something for a dad, partner, brother, grandad or friend who insists he is perfectly happy as he is.
Not every Christmas looks like the ones in the adverts. There isn’t always a long table full of relatives, a house bursting with noise and a pile of presents reaching halfway up the tree.
There is a moment on a December evening when the house finally goes quiet. The fairy lights are still on, the tea has gone a little cold, and somewhere a small voice asks, “Just one more story?”
December has a way of sneaking up on us. One moment the evenings are just starting to draw in, and the next there are presents to wrap, cards to write, food to plan, work to finish before the holidays, and a calendar that seems to fill itself.
