The Monday List

We're Roasting Our Chestnuts On An Open Fire With The Ten Most Cliched Stock Images Of Christmas

A nativity scene with the star shining directly down on the manger and the three kings hoving into view on camels
A family in Christmas jumpers gathered around while their smallest child opens a beautifully-wrapped parcel
Three 'trendy' women in matching party dresses and silver foil crowns, clutching luminous cocktails in oversized Martini glasses
Father Christmas in his sleigh pulled by reindeer, silhouetted against a full moon
A Christmas angel who looks more like a lace doily blowing a huge trumpet
A hipster-looking bloke in a red and green novelty elf outfit with stripy socks and huge boots, posing self-consciously with arms full of presents
A doting father lifting up his tiny son/daughter to place a star on the top of the Christmas tree
A Christmas dinner table where the focal point is a roast turkey the size of Swindon
A blonde model in a tiny red dress trimmed with white fur and matching Santa hatStrings of Christmas lights, out of focus so they appear to glow (bonus points if there's also a chuffing out-of-focus Christmas tree in the shot)
