Crikey! It's not often you can say that you're genuinely scared by a Christmas card, but on this occasion that's completely true!
I was kindly sent an e-card by one of my very able photographer contacts and upon opening it I recoiled in fear at the scary eyes, mad hair and enigmatic smile staring back at me.
Now please don't get me wrong, I'm a great fan of the lovable Midlands son Noddy Holder and Slade's 1973 festive smash Merry Christmas Everybody continues to top a myriad of polls of the most loved seasonal Christmas songs of all time.
But, this pic would perhaps be better sent out at a different time of the year, Halloween for instance..?
Merry Christmas everyone and see you in the New Year!
