64. Christmas questions galore! Ft special guest Neil Gaiman. Plus…Are all snowflakes a different shape? Why is Boxing Day called Boxing Day?
In this week's show we answer lots of questions from Tabitha, Jensen, Eleanor, Alice, Ollie, Jack, Chessie and Eleanor with help from the wonderful writer Neil Gaiman.
Neil is the author of lots of books for children and adults including Coraline, Stardust, Fortunately The Milk, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, picture books about a sneezing panda called Chu, American Gods and much more. He knows a lot about magic and mystery and helps us uncover the secrets of Christmas Eve.
Neil answers lots of questions about Christmas Eve and Father Christmas and explains how the magic is made possible on this most special of nights.
We find out about Wilson Snowflake Bentley who was the first person to photograph snowflakes.
And we delve into the history of Boxing Day and how it got its name.
Happy Christmas!
