Coping With Christmas

image

’Tis the season to be jolly? Not so you’d notice.

The days preceding Christmas are notoriously fraught with irritations. For Danny, an angst-ridden teen, this year is no different. The torturous countdown – confined to the house with a volley of relatives – is little cheered by the promise of presents of bad socks and hankies. But then everything changes. 

 Kate, Danny’s stunning cousin arrives for the holidays and suddenly Danny wants to sing carols from the rooftops. As in Coping With Grown Ups, Coping With Christmas takes a kid’s eye view of the idiosyncrasies of human behaviour, without sugar-coating or dumbing-down. Raw, uncensored teenage tensions, traumas and hormones are channelled directly into television’s jugular.
