Merry Christmas you beautiful people.

It's a packed show so let's not mess about.
First up it's Santa Claus is NOT Coming to Town, and listener Timothy Dumont has shared the story of how he spoiled the myth of Santa to a bunch of teenagers.

Do you know the difference between a Sidewalk and Pavement?  Well there isn't one and, in Do You Hear What I Hear, Bob Baker explains it all.

Then it's our yearly visit to Shelli and Frank Arnold's Christmas village.  It's a true work of art and if you want to check it out I've put a bunch of pictures on Facebook.

Next up we chat to Steven A McKay. He's a historical fiction writer and each year he writes a novella or short story featuring the characters from his Robin Hood series.  This year's book has two stories, The Heretic of Haltemprice Priory and The Winter Hunt.

We also play Wassail The Night Away. A song written by Steven and his podcast co-host.

This episode's version of A Christmas Carol is Blackadder's Christmas Carol, but if you want to hear it you'll have to go to The Advent Calendar House Podcast, where I chat about it with host Mike Westfall.

Then Bob Baker is back with Spread a Smile of Joy.  The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear, so why not go carol singing this year and spread some joy around your neighbourhood.

Then Jeanie Mulligan is back to have another go at The Quiz.
See if you can beat her score (you shouldn't find it too hard).

This episode's recommendation is I'm Not Complaining with Robin and Juno. My two daughters are possibly the world's youngest podcast hosts, and I think you'll enjoy their show so have a listen:
