About this listen

 I Wish it could be Christmas Every Day Christmas was over; an expensive non-drop fir tree standing naked next to the TV, dripping browning needles on the carpet all that was left... Looking at the dead tree, the new year felt like nothing special and the world small, cold and mean. She sighed. “I wish it could be Christmas every day,” she whispered, like a prayer or a spell, and then whispered it again without meaning to…

Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and novellas with paranormal themes. All stories you will hear were written by a collection of talented writers, authors, and storytellers, both independent and professional.

In today’s episode we’ll be reading I Wish it could be Christmas Every Day, a spine-tingling holiday haunt hailing from the strange town of Willerby. We aren’t sure who, exactly, is behind these stories, or even whether they’re authored by one person, or many. We stumbled upon the Willerby website earlier this year and found a collection of stories about the town’s inhabitants. After agreeing to a number of bizarre conditions, to which we’ve been sworn to secrecy, we were given permission to share some of these stories, including this Christmas tale which made us positively squirm.

We truly hope you enjoy this unsettling Christmas story from the eerie and mysterious town of Willerby… just be careful what you wish for when you take down your holiday decorations in the coming days! If you would like to read some of these stories for yourself, visit Willerby’s website at WelcomToWillerby.co.uk and follow it on Instagram @WillerbyVillage.

If you have an original story that would send a chill down our spines, and you would like to submit it for review, simply send it in to hauntedukfiction@hotmail.com

Until next time, stay safe, and take care.
