Ben spends Christmas Eve on a complaints line, apologising to strangers for parcels that will never arrive. By the time he boards the late bus home, he's had his fill of festive cheer - the adverts, the pressure, the feeling that everyone else is having a perfect day he can never quite give his son, Liam.So when a mysterious older man on the bus listens to Ben's rant and presses a battered snow globe into his hand, calling it a "Christmas gift" and warning him to be careful what he wishes for, Ben laughs it off.Until he wakes up to find that Christmas has gone.No carols. No lights. No adverts. No one - not his ex, not the radio, not even Google - has heard of Christmas at all.With only a hazy memory of the day that used to be, a penguin-pyjama-wearing seven-year-old who still deserves some magic, and a neighbour who refuses to let him spiral, Ben sets out to rebuild Christmas from scratch inside his block of flats.As fairy lights go up, recipes are guessed at, and strangers become something closer to family, the snow globe on his windowsill begins to change - and so does Ben's idea of what the "perfect" Christmas should look like.The Man Who Saved Christmas is a warm, hopeful festive short story about single dads and second chances, the courage it takes to care, and the quiet magic that happens when a whole building decides that one little boy is getting his Christmas, whether the world remembers it or not.
