AND a Merry Christmas to you ...

Holmfirth couple Anne and David Senior will enjoy the festive season after scooping a great prize thanks to the Examiner.

They won a bumper Marks and Spencer Connoisseur Classic hamper, packed with wine, food and other goodies, in our first weekly prize draw.

More than 1,300 people entered the contest.

She said: "I don't normally enter competitions but I saw it in the Examiner and thought it was a wonderful prize. I never told David I had entered so it was a big surprise when we learned we had won."

The couple are looking forward to Christmas with their three children and four grandchildren.
