We're inviting you to send in questions to India Knight, who's joining us for a Christmas-themed Q&A. India is the authority on all things celebration, whether it's how to decorate your home for Christmas on a budget, where and how to shop on a budget and how to navigate the social minefields over the holiday season.

Her latest novel, Comfort and Joy, tells the story of Clara Dunphy who finds herself on Oxford Street with two shopping days left to Christmas, desperately, madly trying to make everything, not perfect, but just right for her extended family on the greatest day of the year. But then she gets distracted . . .Comfort and Joy is described by Jilly Cooper as a 'hilarious, bawdy yet touching portrait of Christmas over three years'. India has also written Thrift book: Live well and spend less and The Shops, both of which touch on the subject of Christmas shopping and saving.

India is a weekly columnist for the Sunday Times and visited Mumsnet previously for a live webchat. Send us your questions for India by Wednesday 16th November, and we will choose the ten best to send over to her. The authors of the selected questions will all receive a set of her beautifully repackaged novels, courtesy of Penguin.
