Always Room for Christmas Pud



If you’ve ever over-indulged on Christmas Day, this witty and nostalgic book is for you.

Christmas dinner was done, ’twas one of the greats!
Where once was a banquet just lay empty plates.
The prawns and bean salad and ham were so yummy,
Now all that remained were the guests with full tummies...

Is there such a thing as being TOO FULL for Christmas pud? A poetic yarn that has become the stuff of festive legend, this special anniversary edition of Aunty Donna’s modern classic, Always Room for Christmas Pud, will allow you to have your pud and eat it too.

Illustrated by James Fosdike.

About the authors

Aunty Donna

Aunty Donna are an absurdist comedy collective from Melbourne formed of Mark Samual Bonanno, Broden Kelly, Zachary Ruane, Sam Lingham, Max Miller and Tom Armstrong. In 2020 they released their Netflix series, Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun, to rave reviews. Aunty Donna’s energetic live shows have seen them sell out theatres all around the world and they’ve created hit web series such as 1999 and Glennridge Secondary College. In 2018 they released and toured an album called The Album and they recently recorded the 300th episode of The Aunty Donna Podcast. Inspired by a sketch of cult status that’s been watched online over five million times, Always Room for Christmas Pud is their first book.

James Fosdike

James Fosdike was discovered by Wil Anderson on a dark and stormy night, in a basket at his front door. Never one to turn away those less fortunate, Wil took James under his wing (he’s secretly a bird) and enrolled James in the Sir Douglas Mawson Institute of TAFE, specifically a Certificate IV course in Advertising and Graphic Design. Unfortunately James became lost in the off-campus TAFE lifestyle and failed to complete the course.
