Christmas often leads to the early onset of diabetes and frazzled tempers. Here are a selection of music tips to keep the family on an even keel over the upcoming weekend:
We Say Bamboulee - tasty folk synth
He Will Have His way - Finn Brothers covers from the likes of Boy and Bear to The Living End
The Hives - highbrow punk madness
Hot Chip - smooth beats for post meal digestion
The Beatles - Because I want to hold your hand
Lykke Li - Sweet, sweet Swedish pop
Mumford and Sons - to win over Nan and Grandpa
If you still find yourself locking your cousin in a half nelson or giving your Aunt Madge a filthy glare before sulking off in a huff of misery and despair, then fear not - you can always paint a new family out of Babooshka dolls.
