Because you’re a socially responsible person, you’re not going anywhere this Christmas, and you’re not seeing anyone other than the people you saw yesterday and the day before that, so you’re probably going to be watching even more television this holiday week than in years past. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get to it.
It seems only right to begin with Dolly Parton, who donated $1 million to vaccine research, has gifted more than 150 million books to children and with similar if marginally less significant largesse brings the world a double dose of cheer this year.

Nutcracker Delights available for free on YouTube and Facebook this Christmas.
ENB s artistic director Tamara Rojo said: Everyone involved in
Nutcracker Delights worked incredibly hard to prepare for what would have been our first live performances since January. We were devastated to have to cancel our scheduled shows at the London Coliseum just a few days before opening. English National Ballet has performed a version of
The Nutcracker every year of our 70-year history, and we were determined this Christmas should be no different.
Nutcracker Delights is a specially adapted version of the Christmas classic which sees the company perform a showcase of the ballet s most popular moments, accompanied by Tchaikovsky s famous score played by musicians from English National Ballet Philharmonic.
