Life christmas work

It’s the right time of year to revisit the greatest story ever old by a Christmas part-time shop worker

It’s the cold, dark time of year when we all turn to the classics for comfort viewing.

So, in that spirit, what better time to revisit this brilliant story by Irish writer Richy Craven which he originally shared in 2020.

Fellow Irishman Joe O’Shea – @josefoshea – shared Richy’s thread in honour of the start of the festive part-time retail worker season, saying: ‘Marks & Spencers are hiring part-time for Christmas – which gives us an excuse to revisit … The Greatest Modern Irish Christmas Story, God Bless Us, One and All!’

And what a joy the story still is. Strap in.
