WELCOME to this month's bumper edition of Prime Time.

As the year draws to a close and we head towards Christmas we thought we'd give you some great ideas for getting the best out of the festive season.

So our Christmas special looks at the best ways to enjoy a family Christmas - or if you fancy something different, how to avoid one altogether by jetting off on holiday!

We look at ways of keeping the finances under control at this expensive time of year, and offer advice on some great home decor ideas.

We also take a look at some of the fantastic party wear now available in the high street and hope that our gift guide gives you some inspiration for even the most awkward family members.

As ever, we have a fantastic competition on offer, so if you're feeling lucky just see below for the chance to win a game at one of the best golf courses around.

Enjoy!
