Description:

Christmas and New Year

The boys spend Christmas Day with Benjamin and his girlfriend, Monique.

The bullying this holiday from Alex, Simon and James is awful; trapping Sam’s fingers in doors, wedgying him, pushing him over, stealing things, hiding his possessions, including his favourite lion teddy. His brothers hide Sam’s presents and he weeps wildly with Benjamin just yelling at him to stop. Riley has to come down from Northumberland and her parents’ house to pick him up. She’s furious too and sends him to his bedroom when they get home where he cries some more. Later, Joe brings Sam his presents and apologies. Sam opens them on his bed with Joe.

New Year is spent with Riley, who has a party but Sam is scared of the fireworks. More reason his brothers bully him.
