Last Christmas
Last Christmas | Emma Thompson, Greg Wise
8 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
The perfect gift book, featuring the writing of Meryl Streep, Bill Bailey, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Caitlin Moran, Richard Ayoade, Emily Watson and others, to coincide with the upcoming movie Last Christmas, starring Emma Thompson, Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. When you think back to Christmases past, what (if anything) made it magical? Looking towards the future, what would your perfect Christmas be? What would you change? What should we all change? This is a beautiful, funny and soulful collection of personal essays about the meaning of Christmas, written by a unique plethora of voices from the boulevards of Hollywood to the soup kitchens of Covent Garden. Away from the John Lewis advert, the high street decorations and the candied orange in Heston Blumenthal's Christmas pudding, this gem of a book introduced and curated by Emma Thompson and Greg Wise celebrates the importance of kindness and generosity, acceptance and tolerance - and shows us that these values are not just for Christmas.

Lots of individual Christmas experiences from famous and non famous faces. Some stories I enjoyed more than others but it‘s a meaningful festive read

#WinterGames2020 #HolidayMovie Last Christmas starring Emilia Clarke, Michelle Yeoh, Emma Thompson & Henry Golding, was really great! It‘s about a young woman who works in a Xmas store in London when her life falls apart after almost dying & needing a heart transplant. A year later, she‘s burnt most of her bridges when she meets a mysterious young man who brings her back to life. Much better than I expected👍 6pts #MerryReaders

Cupcake12 I watched this today too...I loved it ❤️ 4y

Crazy Rich Asians meets Game of Thrones in a holiday rom-com that I‘m definitely watching this November. Emma Thompson is the writer and it‘s called Last Christmas.

Whimsical.Curiosity I'm loving both of them in anything they do. 5y
Dragon Thanks @Whimsical.Curiosity totally agree! 🤗😀🐉 5y

Dragon Thanks @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego me too! November is usually such a dreary month , now there‘s something to look forward to ❄️🎥 🐉 5y
Centique Yup. Gotta see this. Did you love “To All the Boys I‘ve Loved Before”? It was so gosh darn cute. Even just the ambience of it, eg Lara Jean‘s messy room - so sweet. 5y
Dragon Thanks @Centique I haven‘t seen To All the Boys yet , I keep meaning to read the book first 😀🐉 5y
