Seven Is The Magic Number

Apparently, seven presents are the ideal number to receive on Christmas Day.

Whilst cash is apparently the best present of all (really ... are we that mercenary??), fragrances, books and alcohol are also well received.

The poll by shopping giant Marks & Spencer also uncovered the 'fact,' that the smell of a roast dinner cooking is the ultimate Christmas day smell, with the lunch held best at 2.30 pm.

This should be followed with Home Alone and Miracle on 34th Street as the best Christmas films .... I am assuming for this post that's the 1947 version, with Edmund Gwenn as Santa, but possibly as that was orginally a black and white, movie (but there was a 'colourised' version issued in 1985, nearly 40 years after it was made, but even so, its probably anathema to the colour generation), they probably mean the 1994 version by Disney, with Richard Attenborough.

...... Personally give me Its A Wonderful Life and Alastair Sim's Scrooge any day.
