It’s a packed episode filled with all sorts.

We begin with a look at the Cornish custom of Star Gazy Pie.  It’s not the most appetising pie you’ll ever see, but it has a great history.

Then our Podcast Barman Bob Baker takes a look at Caskets and Coffins.

Next it’s our yearly tradition of looking at Seth’s Christmas Ghost Stories produced by Biblioasis.
If you want to win the latest 3 books in the series email me with the following…
“Yeah, I’ll ave em”.
Check out the lovely little books here:
https://www.biblioasis.com/product-category/fiction/seths-christmas-ghost-stories/

In last episode’s quiz I had never heard of the song Christmas Through Your Eyes by Gloria Estefan, so we take a look at the song, which was a B-side to the Miami Mega Mix.

Want to watch a badly acted operatic version of A Christmas Carol?  Then check out Mr Scrooge from South Carolina ETV.
Here’s a link:

Next up Bob is back with Spread A Smile of Joy and he talks about giving blood.  It’s a great way to save a life.

Then it’s The Christmas Quiz and you get to test yourself against the lovely Jeanie Mulligan from Ireland .
