On the second day of Christmas Scarlett Bailey add to our RNA Christmas tree...
Scarlett's latest book....
This is the Glitter Globe I
brought home from my first ever trip to New York, one Christmas a few years ago
now. It was a magical trip; New York was cold and brightly dressed in sparkling
lights, and I truly felt like I had stepped out of my humdrum life and onto a
movie set. I felt like a film star, even though no one noticed little old me.
It was in New York, on the rink
under the Rockefeller centre, whilst listening to Christmas Carols that I first
tried my hand at ice-skating, and spent most of the time of my backside.
It was standing outside the
Christmas window at Saks, that I finally understood all the fuss about shoes
that my friends regularly made when I saw how the Saks window dresser had turns
a pair of Prada shoes into works of art, as dazzling as any I might find in
MOMA.
And it was in Macy’s that I
found, right at the front of store, in the part designed to attract tourists,
my Glitter Globe. Now it sits on my desk with a few other treasured items, and
I look at it everyday. And when, in ‘Married by Christmas’, Anna is awe struck
by the wonder of New York at Christmas, and feels like she is living in her own
little snow globe world, its was my Gorgeous, kitschy, lovely Glitter Globe
that I looked at every time I needed inspiration. Oh and by the way, it also
plays Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York’. Perfect.
All she wants is a perfect Christmas Eve wedding...
It's been on Anna's wish-list since she was a little girl, dreaming of a far happier family life than she'd ever experienced.
But now - only two weeks before her big day - her perfect husband-to-be drops a bombshell...
Only nothing's going to stop Anna's plans - not even the pesky inconvenience of discovering her groom already has a wife!
