Friday 1 December 2023: There’s a reason why Christmas is often called the silly season – just ask the Harpers! 

In the 2005 Christmas Special (… And I’ll Cry If I Want To), the Harper family Christmas looks like being even more fearsome than usual for Ben, as Susan is giving grandson Kenzo a third birthday party to remember.

The 2008 festive edition (Have an Unhappy Christmas) sees Ben’s efforts to buy Susan’s Christmas present getting him into trouble, while a letter for Susan means a change of holiday plans for everyone.

In the 2009 Christmas special (2039: A Christmas Oddity), we fast-forward to December 2039, as the Harpers gather to celebrate Christmas. With a “greed gift exchange”, a rival cousin and a Nativity play battle, there may not be too much room for peace and goodwill.
