I've voted for Christmas, which I'd never really viewed as a sporting event before, because it's the one time of year when pretty much all friends and family can agree is good fun. I can't possibly think of anything related to footie as 'fun', Royal Ascot has great racing but is an over-priced Terminal 4 experience, while Cheltenham is vastly over-hyped from so far out that by the time it rolls round, it's a relief to get the thing over with, and on with normal life. I'm expecting "The Road to Cheltenham 2011" to kick off in mid-August this year, God help us.
 
Okay, so you can't have one of them, but you can have the other. Cheltenham or Christmas? Imagine you can shuffle around with 40,000 bawling people, eat over-priced food and drink, and pay out around £100 a day at least for the privilege of 'being there'. Or, you can relax at home, watch DVD replays of the races, stuffed with turkey and all the trimmings, bathed in Lynx and wearing your new Man U fleecy slippers... okay, I don't want to be bathed in Lynx or wearing Man U slippers (I've got a Chelsea pair, thank you), but you get the idea. No brainer! ChrisMAAAASSsss.. ChrisSSS-masss....
