Christmas love

Scraping the ice off the car while still in a dressing gown - no charge. Picking up drunk mates, a ton of beer and two giggly girlfriends - no charge. Sitting through a slow cello rendition of Jingle Bells struggling to keep a straight face - no charge. Staying up half the night to make the donkey costume only to get a place right at the back of a hot, stuffy hall - no charge. Sight of a kiddie face on Christmas morning - priceless.

Told you Joe would win it. There are folk who haven't been out on a weekend for ages because the X Factor has been on. Compulsive viewing but glad to see the back of it, particularly blonde and breathless Stacey. Safer really. Left a moment longer she would have spontaneously combusted. Gone up like a Christmas candle - and that would have been worth staying in for.
