Tinsel, Twins & Trouble: A Clarkton Christmas Catastrophe

By Scott Harrison

Christmas had a plan. This family did not.

Twelve-year-old Eli Mercer wants one decent Christmas photograph with his newly blended family in Clarkton, Missouri. Instead, the cat wrecks the tree, the dog finishes the presents, and Dad accidentally sets the yard on fire.

That's before company arrives.

The Arkansas cousins bring tattoo coupons. Granny supplies her own sound effects. The in-laws arrive with towering eighties hair, head-to-toe denim, and enough takeout boxes to leave everyone else ordering pizza. Across the street, a twelve-foot skeleton wears a Santa suit while neighborhood dogs and raccoons compete for control of the trash.

Then Savannah goes into labor with twins while her two possible baby daddies get arrested in a fight involving Christmas decorations.

With supper gone, the toilet overflowing, and Christmas scattered across the lawn, this family discovers there's still room for two more-and plenty of love beneath the wreckage.

Tinsel, Twins & Trouble: A Clarkton Christmas Catastrophe is an illustrated holiday comedy for adults and older teens who enjoy outrageous relatives, small-town chaos, and families that keep showing up for one another.
