Tom Fletcher 'I Have A Little Christmas Tree Up All Year!'

WHEN we caught up with Tom Fletcher it was a scorching hot day, but that didn’t stop us chatting about his new book, The Christmasaurus and The Winter Witch, and all things Christmas! “

THE CHRISTMASAURUS IS BACK! WHEN DID CHRISTMAS START FOR YOU?

I live in permanent Christmas now. There’s always something Christmas-related going on in my life. Whether it’s planning the next Christmasaurus book or writing another Christmas picture book, or working on the Christmasaurus movie or stage show. It’s a lot of Christmas. But I love Christmas, it’s my own fault and I only have myself to blame!

DO YOU HAVE A CHRISTMAS ROOM SET UP ALL YEAR ROUND FOR INSPIRATION?

I have a little Christmas tree on my writing desk all year round. When I’m writing the Christmasaurus I go a little bit overboard with Christmas stuff. So I’ll eat Christmassy food and I’ll decorate a little bit more.

THIS STORY STARTS IN A FUTURE WHERE THERE IS NO CHRISTMAS – WAS THAT A SCARY THOUGHT FOR YOU?
