Bono's Christmas Smooch...

It's been an extremely hectic year for U2 frontman Bono with a world tour and his tireless work to combat poverty in Africa - but he still managed to get home for his Christmas traditions...

BONO & ALI HEWSON @ THE CLARENCE HOTEL

You may be forgiven for thinking there are more than one Bonos on the planet - the busy guy turns up constantly on TV and in magazines and newspapers in every country in the world on a daily basis!

Just when you hear he is touring in the USA, he turns-up on a family holiday in the South of France while also appearing on UK TV show and concurrently out drinking with his mates in Dublin! How does he do it?

Not only does our Bono make time for his family and staff at Christmas - he also made time for his close circle-of-friends who no-doubt see less-and-less of the hardest working man in Rock n Roll...

NOEL GALLAGHER @ THE MERRION HOTEL

But in contrast to Bono's non-stop party lifestyle the Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel went straight back to their plush Merrion Hotel suites after their sell-out show.

But in-fairness to the Oasis boys it was a real family affair as Liam had his wife Nicole and son Gene with him, Noel had his girlfriend Sara MacDonald with him, and their mother Peggy was also on-hand for their Irish homecoming...

Although their new drummer Zak Starky (son of Ringo Star) did head out on the town but we're not quite sure if he crossed paths with Bono and chums?
