As an avid crap TV watcher myself (when I get the chance) I’ll tell you about the joyful showings on Channel 4 for Christmas Eve and Christmas day (be prepared for the utmost excitement)…

The Pains Of Christmas Shopping

People are all in a line going up the escalator, to go shopping.

Christmas, it’s a time of joy and goodwill to all men and woman. Obviously anyone who says this has never experienced shopping in the seasonal period.

Second Star To The Left Review

As you may already know, throughout the Christmas period Lincoln and That are reviewing all the best Christmas films (yes, ALL the BEST Christmas films).

After a long search on YouTube I came across what I was searching for. Second Star to the Left is a film I vaguely remember from being about eight or nine. All I can remember was that it involved a rabbit, guinea pig and hamster who had to deliver a present.

Secret Santa – is it the way forward for Christmas?

Yep, it’s that time of the year again. The time where you scrounge every last penny out of your purse for presents for your family and friends.

Secret Santa is something which is becoming more common each year. It’s easier than getting everyone a present and can be quite fun. With Secret Santa, you write everyone’s names on a piece of paper, scrunch them up and randomly pick one. Then you have to buy something for that person without conferring with anyone else.
