CHRISTMAS has come early for 10-year-old Milly Hazeldine.

The youngster, who attends South Crosland CE Junior School, has won a contest to design a Christmas card for Home 107.9 radio station. It was open to Kirklees schoolchildren aged five to 11.

Milly received a portable TV/DVD player and for her school, a data projector worth more than £1,000.

The prizes were sponsored by Huddersfield recruitment agency Stafflex.

Ursula Johnson, sales manager for Home 107.9, said: "We asked the schools to design our card around the theme of `The Magic Of Christmas' and I think we can all agree that Milly's card represents just that"
