singer NICKY BYRNE is aiming to spend the festive period in the comfort of his living room chair - watching an endless stream of classic movies on TV. The Irish star's annual Christmas ritual is to take in film after film - an activity that can only be rivaled by the unwrapping of gifts. He says, "The best thing about Christmas is all the presents and the films that are on the telly. All the movies that are on like Star Wars and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and
Home Alone, Superman, Back To the Future, Superman. I love all
that."

Westlife to get the low-down on their plans for christmas and which celeb lads they find good looking Hey guys, What.s

I haven.t been home with my friends and family for months." Nicky: "For me this year, Santa Claus is coming to our house for the first time, so that,s going to be pretty special. What do you like to have with your turkey?? Shane: I have egg mayonnaise and vegetable soup. Nicky: Soup as well, and smoked salmon" Mark: Prawn cocktail... Egg mayo-random - Ever found anything strange in your stocking?? Shane: A toenail, I never hang a stocking up - our presents just go under the tree" Mark: We put stocking up as decoration on our fireplace. Shane: I think Christmas stockings might be more of a uk thing. In Ireland, I don,t know anyone who has one.. Interesting. Do you have any unusual traditions in your families./ Nicky : My sisters and I always used to go to over to my nanas place, and our cousins would come too.
Then one of us would be picked to hand out all the presents that year. Shane: The toy show- thats what the uk missed out on big time.. The toy Show.... Shane: It was on three weeks before christmas and it would show you the newest toys coming out, The biggest thing ever when you,re young. Mark: Parents stopped grounding you. Instead they say,
you,r not allowed to watch the toy show.
This lad pushed someone into the mud and he wasn,t allowed to watch it. Did it ruin christmas, Mark: It ruined his life.. Shane: Yeah he,s in jail now cause he wasn,t allowed to watch it. Yeah right, which band member would most like to be your secret Santa. Nicky: Id want kina because has very thoughtful when it comes to presents. Kian: Really?? Nicky: No hahahaha And if you spending limit was just a pound?? M:I had a contest with my friend recently we stopped in a 24 hour supermarket to see who could get the most for a pound. I won by miles. What did you buy then.??? Mark: Toothpicks, music a plug, honestly... But who on earth would want a plug as a secret Santa present?? Shane: True but is still want mark to be my secret Santa. cause he get the most for his money. If you were off to a christmas fancy dress party, what would you go as.. Shane: A christmas tree, with my hands out on either side and my head sticking through the top. Nicky: I guess its inventive, I was going to say an elf, but a tress is better by far. Would you rather be a reindeer or one of Santa,s elves... Mark: A reindeer, cause they an fly. Shane: Id rather be an elf Mark: And elf,s a slave a reindeer gets to fly all over the world. Shane: A reindeer is a slave too, it has to go wherever its told. Mark: You be stuck inside all day making toys Shane: Why don,t I just get in an aeroplane. Boys... changing the subject, are you still in touch with Brian McFadden, and will you be getting him a present. Mark: no present but we still talk to him?? Nicky: We don,t even get each other presents at mass time.. K:I was embarrassed one year, just giving them cards. I thought they all laugh at me. Shane: and we did loll Meanies. If you were single, which celeb would you most want to kiss under the mistletoe? Shane: The best looking woman in the world. In my opinion, Charlize theron - very classy and elegant. Nicky: I think scarlet Johansson is nice Kian: I disagree, I think she,s got a funny nose. I like Gisele Bundchen, the supermodel. Mark: Delta Goodrem, haha not that im going kiss delta. For many reasons. Lets hope Brian doesn,t read this.. With you talking about his girlfriend like that,. Nicky :Who would you kiss then?? Josh Hartnert. Shane: Yeah he,s a good looking guy.
