However, with his health worsening, Phil shocks his family by announcing that he’d rather spend Christmas alone.

Sharon then decides to buy Phil a fancy armchair as a present, but upon presenting him with the gift, finally begins to realise that he needs space, on what could be his last Christmas. Cheerful, isn’t it?
