Is a real tree or a plastic one more environmentally friendly? Is a matt black tree disturbing? Can you do Christmas without consumerism? Is it ever okay to give a goat? Lau-Lau, Drabs and Jonty answer these and other yuletide questions. Listen to this long chat in Berro Lounge, Didcot, for the lowdown on Christmas books, where Beer Christianity's listeners come from, shout-outs to the BC fandom, plus our take on Boris Johnson and Kanye West.

More fun than a kick in the jingle balls.

You can also find the Greenbelt Christmas event we mentioned here, and the Hillsong carol service in London here.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to teach us a better way to be while reconciling us to God and each other in a way we could never do without Him. He also changed water into wine. Nice.
