    I got a few emails during our break from distraught readers who got iTunes gift cards from Santa with no idea how to spend them. We should all have such problems!

    THE promotional juggernaut for Mamma Mia! began in earnest on Monday in London, as the blue -- yes, blue -- carpet was rolled out for the world premiere of the film based on the eternally unforgettable songs of Swedish supergroup ABBA.
