    Me too Lou - This is the first year for me and my little one too and Im really looking forward to it!

    We already have a few DVDs which he has gathered over the years, like Polar Express, Grinch, Alvin and the Chipmunks etc - they will keep us going throughout december.

    This year I bought some of the Santa Claus movies which he loves x

    On another note, When does the Radio Times come out so I can program my Sky +!?? :D

    Ha ha, I drive my hubby mad by recording anything at all chrismassy during december on our Sky+!

    Not sure when the radio times comes out but they have a website so will probably advertise it on there.

    The Grinch and the Santa Clause movies are great too.

    It is actually 12 weeks for £1 trial not 6 like i said above! :T You must cancel BEFORE your 12th edition to stop further subscription charges. You can email or phone the number on the order form to cancel.

    I got this deal from HDUK:
