It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas, and Holly and Darren have a selection box of festive good things for you in December’s podcast. They are joined by the power of the audio clip by a host of, well, not quite angels, but some of the lovely people who have been our conversation partners over the last year or so, PLUS our very own roving reporter, Margaret. They have all deliberated and shared with us their Best Christmas, Favourite Nativity Story, Best Christmas film, and their hardest Christmas…. Holly and Darren also chew over all the traditional stuff – When is too soon to put up the lights? Is Die Hard even a Christmas film? And some less traditional musings – What do you do when the Three Wise Men turn up in your Advent reading? How do we walk in faith with the little light we’re given?

We wrap up the podcast with a fantastic song – really a prayer – from Blue Rose Code, ‘Peace in Your Heart’.

Thanks so much to Gavin, Laura, Margaret and Roz, we couldn’t have got there without you.
