This is a brilliant Christmas idea – order three of these wonderful prints and send them to 3 of your enemies. Two of them will lie awake at night wondering what's going on, and one of them will be dead. Wins all round, eh!

I have spent months too broke to buy anything, but the temptation was simply too much. And I ordered the large one! No point in half-measures here.

Always enjoy our parents' generation's disapproval at early Christmas decorating, solemnly sighing that they usen't put up a thing until 3 seconds before midnight on the 24th of December and all that they had was half an orange with a clove stuck in it and an angel made from potatoes and misery
