00:09Hi, I'm Martine McCutcheon, the Christmas Fairy. Just wanted to say have the most amazing Christmas

00:14and the best New Year. One of our Christmas traditions in our family is that we all open

00:20a present at midnight. We're basically big kids, too impatient to wait until the morning.

00:27And yeah, we have to do it. It's just what we do every year. And also stockings. Even

00:32though I'm now 40 years old, my mum said to me, listen, you've got a son now. Do you

00:36really want a stocking? I went, yeah, definitely.

00:40I'd say my naughtiest Christmas indulgence is probably spending too much money. I do

00:47it every year. I budget. And without fail, we go over budget. I'd say my favourite Christmas

00:53song would probably be Oh Holy Night. I just love the way it's written from a music point

01:00of view. I just love the changes in it. I love the lyrics. And it just really gives me goosebumps.

01:06For me, it's what Christmas is all about. TV wise, can't have Christmas without only fools

01:12and horses in our house. Got to be done. It's a true Brit guilty pleasure. Got to be done.

01:19For anybody that would like to think of others this Christmas, which we hopefully all do,

01:25it's a great idea to donate to the Great Ormond Street Charity. The details will be at the

01:30end of this video. And hopefully you can spread some cheer to some children that desperately

01:35need it.
