Well, now it’s come to mind (yes Chris, I can’t get it out my head now) I think I should give you an early recommendation for a wonderful Christmas film to watch. Really it’s just a wonderful film full stop, so don’t reject it on the basis that it has the word “Christmas” attached.

It’s a Japanese animation, called Tokyo Godfathers. In fact, I’m pretty sure I may have mentioned it last year. I’ll probably be mentioning it next year too. Such an unusual, human, funny, charming and yes, festive, story. It warms the cockles of this old heart.

And we’ll be watching it again this year. It’s becoming a bit of a tradition.
