COMMENT and features (December 21) was great. What with Julian Cole's intriguing Christmas story - he never lets us down - and Kevin Alexander's sparkling display of festive lights, I'm in the mood to celebrate. And Stephen Lewis certainly knows the score when it comes to sporting a touch of snowy white fur (fake, of course) to flatter the complexion. Despite his protestations, any girl would be proud to be seen at the Christmas party with such a gorgeous creature.

Indeed, after seeing the picture of Stephen looking so glamorous, I needed reviving with a single malt before returning to earth and being capable of peeling a few sprouts.
