Winehouse looks ahead to "perfect" Xmas

Amy Winehouse has been making plans for a "perfect" Christmas with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

Fielder-Civil is currently behind bars after being found guilty of GBH and conspiring to pervert the course of justice, but he is expected to be released in time for December 25.

Winehouse has admitted that she slept through last year's festive season as she could not bring herself to celebrate while Blake was in prison.

"I really miss my Blake. I love him so much. But I'm just focusing on his release," Amy told the Daily Star. "I want to make everything perfect for him. It looks like it'll be Christmas Eve now. It's so far away. But I just keep reminding myself of how lovely it'll be.

"How horrible last Christmas was! I was so upset, I slept all Christmas. I knocked myself out."

Winehouse has recently been working on the follow-up to her 2006 Back To Black album. Reports have suggested that she sings about her childhood and Jewish upbringing on the forthcoming record.
