    Who needs mugs of hot chocolate and a cosy fire when you can spend Christmas luxuriating on the beach?

    The Sun reports that Becks will be spending £250,000 on whisking wife Victoria, sons Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, Cruz, 7, and one-year-old daughter Harper off to paradise, booking the most expensive suite in the posh One&Only Reethi Rah resort in the Maldives, at £8,600 a night, as well as three additional suites at £3,700 a night.

    Even though the Beckham clan will be spending Christmas in luxe surroundings, we hear Victoria will be getting a present that even mere mortals can expect under the tree tomorrow: pyjamas. Of course, VB's will be silk and designed by Newcastle native Olivia de Halle, retailing at £260 a pair.

    Happy Christmas to the Beckham brood!
