I came up with the idea of a Christmas fantasy involving a little boy named Josh who passionately believes in Santa Claus and his slightly older sister, Hayley, who because she is twenty one months older is tragically in danger of losing her belief in Santa Claus and Christmasland; and let  me tell you, when you stop believing in Santa Claus you suddenly become an adult, and that is quite a reality check. 
In this series of six Christmas stories we meet not only Josh, Hayley and Santa Claus but also Santa’s trusty bodyguards Tinsel and Glitter with their flying quad bikes but alsoSanta’s two favourite Pixies Holly and Ivy. 
Josh and Hayley meet the real live Santa Claus shortly after the great man has been evicted from Christmasland by a go-getting obnoxious little elf named Mister Bigwig. This odious little elf takes over Christmasland, cancels the delivery of Christmas presents, sends the reindeer into retirement at a donkey sanctuary 
(well, there is a lack of reindeer sanctuaries don’t you find) and sets himself up as the new boss of Christmasland. Santa of course is distraught at this; he informs Josh and Hayley that he is homeless having run away from ‘Bide-a-Wee’ the Christmasland retirement home in Torquay, where Mister Bigwig had made him go to spend the rest of his days; so Josh invites Santa to live in what Josh always refers to as the ‘the pretty big shed’ which is at the bottom of Josh’s garden. 
Santa presents Josh with a magic snow dome, a sort of hot line to Christmasland, a means by which Josh can keep in contact with Santa at all times. In the pretty big shed they plot the safe return of Santa to Christmasland and the downfall of Mister Bigwig – but it isn’t easy; Josh, Hayley and Santa have many adventures before they have won the battle and dispatched Mister Bigwig off in disgrace to live with his Auntie Muriel in Aberystwyth.
