Oh, and some news just in: those who want no part of these delights and still cling stubbornly to the coke, crisps and crassness model of Christmas may like to sample Happy Holidays, a new album by the great Billy Idol. Its cover features the curly-lipped former gonzo-rock icon striking a Sinatra-esque pose in front of an antique microphone, while the record finds him doing his thing on very strait-laced readings of Frosty the Snowman, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and something called Jingle Bell Rock.
But be warned: the usual rules apply, and it's tripe.
