    Mine would be:

    - Die Hard - it is a Christmas film, so narrowly beats A Muppet Christmas Carol.
    - The Pogues - Fairytale of New York
    - Terry's Chocolate Orange
    - Teatime turkey sandwich with all the leftover trimmings. Just ahead of pigs in blankets.
    - Warm sausage rolls and mince pies for breakfast while all sitting around opening presents together.
