thanks very much to Sarah for this article!!!

When was your best Christmas and why?
Bryan: When Kerry said "yes" (to getting married)
Shane: When Santa brought me a 4x4 jeep with a remote control.
Kian: It was last year. There are seven kids in my family (four boys and three girls) and we always had to eat Christmas dinner in shifts. Then last year i brought a new house and got a big table so the whole family could sit and eat together.

Which celeb would you kiss under the mistletoe?
Mark: Angelina Jolie, she covers everything for me
Nicky: If i had to name a pin-up it would be Kylie, when i was about eight i was in love with her. When she dated Jason Donovan i thought i stood a chance cos i'm blonde
Bryan: My wife

Describe a romantic xmas?
Nicky: This year i'll be with Georgina in our new house in Dublin. It will be like a new beginnning. I'd like to fill the house with kids someday.
Shane: Going for a walk with Gillian along the beach in the snow.

What presents will you buy the woman in your life this year?
Bryan: A new house for Kerry and a guitar for Molly.
Nicky: I don't want to say what I'm buying Georgina, I want to surprise her.
Shane: Jewelry - something like a watch that she can have on while I am away.
Kian: There's no girlfriend but I think I might get my mum a nice necklace.

What is the worst Christmas gift you've ever given or received?
Shane: Nothing! I even like socks.
Nicky: When i was about 12 I was going out with a girl and I bought a silver ring, it was seven or eight pounds - a lot of money then. She just gave me a selection box. It can be great present but I was not very pleased.
Kian: Giving nothing is the worst.......

What's your favourite xmas song and why?
Shane: Bing's White Christmas, I love it and always play it.
Mark: O Holy night by Mariah Carey - she's such an amazing singer. I buy the album with it on every year.
Nicky: I wish it could be Christmas everyday by Wizzard - it's just the sound of Christmas to me.
Kian: I love all the silly ones, especially jingle bells - but not when some shops start playing them in October.

And your most embarrassing drunken xmas moment?
Bryan: When I was sixteen I got so drunk I puked all over myself.
Shane: It's the one day of the year I pick not to drink. I love driving and don't want to miss anything that happens at Christmas. I've just got a Ferrari.
Mark: Ending up in someones else's drunken row and being knocked over. Two girls were fighting on the floor next to me. I was embarrassed for my home town Sligo because I'd never seen aggression there before.
Nicky: A girl slapped me in the face when I was in a pub. It was the first year of Westlife and she came up and said something about me having money and hit me across the face. She got thrown out the pub.
Kian: I don't really get drunk at Christmas. I go to bed early and get up for mass.

Finish this sentence:
All I want for Christmas is.....
Shane: Snow
Mark: A turkey dinner
Bryan: My third right tooth.
Nicky: My family to be happy.
Kian: Family, friends, happiness, fun.

What is your New Years's resolution for 2003:
Shane: To be sexier. I'll try to keep fit and go to the gym a lot. I wouldn't mind trying Geri's yoga video.
Bryan: Give up smoking
Nicky: I should give up beard, i'm away so often Georgina doesn't have to feel stubble every day though.
Mark: To be even more giving and to pleasure as many ladies as possible.
