SUSAN CALMAN AND HER WIFE HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS OF THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS
Christmas is my favourite time of year, mainly because I get to see my wife for a prolonged period of time without having to dash off to gigs in far off places. I’m usually home for a couple of weeks without interruption, and we often take advantage of the cosiness of long winter nights to ruminate on our future. What celebrities we do we want to be our friends, when will I finally become Doctor Who, what disappointing present am I going to give her this year, etc etc. But the most common topic of conversation is Christmas itself, specifically what each of us would consider to be our “dream Christmas”.
