A Christmas Flow of Words explores the more challenging aspects of the 'most wonderful time of the year'.

Celia Donoghue goes back in time and recounts receiving the most precious gift of all, a Christmas baby.   Just for a short while she is glad of the respite that the hospital chapel offers.

Kenneth Hickey observes the winter 'Sunset' as we navigate uncharted territory.

A young Michael Durack goes on The Wren with his childhood companions leading his neighbour to question the extent of their repertoire in 'One Fair County'. 

Roisin Bugler will 'Light up a Memory' in empathy for those who have lost loved ones and for whom Christmas has lost some of its sparkle.

Arthur Watson starkly contrasts 'Belfast Christmas Carols' of 1957 and 1977 and in this era of commercialism questions what is that 'Something' we are always seeking?

Interspersed with snippets of  music by Clodagh Lawlor, Damien Dempsey, Lisa O’Neill and The Lost Brothers.
