WELCOME

Do you have any Christmas entertainment traditions in your house? Every year I drag out my copy of the classic 1951 version of A Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim, for a family viewing. A compulsory tradition that featured in my household growing up, it’s one of the rare times throughout the year where I can get everyone to sit still together for 90 minutes. The welcome Christmas break is also a time for us at STACK to catch-up on the plethora of releases we haven’t had the time to watch, play or listen to throughout the year, affectionately named ‘the pile’. With the temperature rising to uncomfortable levels outside, there isn’t a better time to content binge. And talking of bingeing, the eighth season of Game of Thrones is finally yours to own this month. HBO’s phenomenal fantasy behemoth comes to a polarising conclusion over six of the biggest and most ambitious episodes in the Emmy-winning series’ history, and you can now complete your GoT collection with one of JB’s exclusive editions. Christmas

also brings some of the year’s biggest movies to home entertainment formats and this month there’s Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood , Downton Abbey: The Motion Picture , and IT Chapter Two just waiting to be stuffed into stockings. And with a myriad of box sets to suit every member of the family, there’s really no need to stress over the Chrissie shopping – JB has you comprehensively covered! Most importantly though, the STACK team wish you all a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy NewYear. Paul Jones, Editor-in-Chief
