CHRISTMAS may be about peace, goodwill to all and the birth of Jesus Christ, but the avarice of man means we can add something else to that list - rampant commercialism.
As voices rise in seasonal carols, bank balances plummet as shoppers scramble for the bath salts and cartoon ties they just know their loved ones will adore come the big day.
So to make life easier ahead of the Christmas shopping rush, we've gathered together a few Christmas markets where you can hopefully find something a tad better than a sturdy pair of socks for your significant other.
