Date, length and hooks all OK. I support ALT1 as I think it is hookier. Surprised this didn't have an article already. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Pic licence fine. @Rob~enwiki: would you consider agreeing to holding this for either Christmas Eve (as the last day of Advent) or Christmas Day? The C of E God Save the Queen!

- Thank you @The C of E:! Yes, I agree ALT 1 has more of a "hook" - I was surprised it didn't exist as well - I'd be happy for it to wait until Christmas Eve (which, as a Sunday, would seem a more appropriate choice than the day after). Rob (talk) 19:25, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
