In today's episode, we're revisiting a short story from last year - because it aired on Christmas Eve last year and didn't get the listens it deserved!

This story is about Ally, who was destined to spend Christmas in Johannesburg with her slightly rubbish boyfriend who was also a flight attendant. She decided to try make the best of the situation and arranged for the crew to visit an orphanage to give the children there gifts. But she ended up with a whole new perspective on life.

Being cabin crew around Christmas isn't the best. You're often alone in a hotel room whilst your family celebrate without you. So this episode is a reminder that no matter how you celebrate, every day on this planet is a gift - so make the most of every opportunity!

If you like escaping into short stories, audio fiction based on true stories, or are just interested in the lives of those who work in aviation - this is the podcast for you!
