I have been receiving Christmas presents since last week. My brother inlaw Sunday Unah brought me a classic shirt he bought in London. And I am so happy this Christmas is on Sunday. Because, my father was born on a Sunday and I was born on a Sunday and my brother inlaw was born on a Sunday. And my song "She Comes On Sundays" was played on the BBC with a special focus on my performance poetry. So, I love Sundays.

Publisher Comments:
"Happy families are all alike," said Tolstoy, and the O'Malley's are one of the happiest, if slightly crazy, families in current fiction. A Christmas Wedding continues the saga of Chucky, the youngest son who wants to live the quiet life of an accountant and raise a nice Catholic family. Fate, of course, has other plans for Chucky, in the person of the beautiful Rosemarie, his off-again on-again nemesis from the time he saved her life when he was a young man.
Thrown out of Notre Dame on trumped up charges, Chucky ends up going to the University of Chicago. The only problem: his lifelong enemy Rosemarie is a fellow student. They decide to be "just friends," and while they battle with each other, "just friends" turns into something neither of them expected.
