ARE you one of those people who hates the taste of turkey? Cringes at the word Santa? From the moment those old Christmas favourites start jangling on the radio, I am full of mixed feelings about the festive season.

I never get bored of Wham’s Last Christmas or the sexy, rasping voices in the Pogues’ classic, Fairytale of New York. Noddy Holder makes me want to cry and shut myself in a cupboard until it’s all over.
