For me, nothing sums up the Spirit of Christmas better than this cute and slightly silly video. It’s for fun, it’s for the family and it’s for a worthy charity. And I’m delighted to say that 75,000 people agree with me because it has taken the number 1 slot on the official UK charts.

They say that Christmas is all about family and, in this Internet Age, surely all the inhabitants of this fragile Earth are just one big family. It doesn’t matter which city you live in, we can all help to build a world-wide virtual community. Mark Hoyle has laid the foundations with a few sausage rolls, perhaps you can contribute a healthy salad, something to drink or just a warm smile.

Merry Christmas, everybody!
