All
I want for Xmas is...

1.
A hangover cure - Avoid alcoholic drinks the night before...(erm
we didn't mean that, it's Christmas -Ed). For those who plan

2.
A chat-up line - If you haven't read our cheesy
chat up lines then don't blame us if all you pull this
Christmas is a cracker.

Something
great on the box - There's plenty of festive shows to choose
from - take
your pick from BBC television. |
4.
An on-line Christmas Greeting - Sending Christmas cards
is just so yesterday. Discover which of your friends are hip,
