Dunno about you lot, but I think it would be good to spend the actual Christmas Day part of the holiday season abroad, preferably in Amsterdam.

While there's nothing wrong with a traditional British Christmas, I have to say it's all a bit overfamiliar after all these years - the TV specials, the Stig advent calendars, all the rest of it.

Mainland Europe I think does the season best in all the world - the markets, the traditions, the lights and candles.

Sadly due to family commitments I'm stuck in Blighty though, so it'll be the Bernard Matthews turkey roast and Mateus Rose for me!
