Episode 113 - The Ghost of Christmas Present

Hello you beautiful people!
It's another packed show and we start off by looking at a tradition from Yorkshire here in the UK.  The Yorkshire Christmas Pie was a multiple bird roast inside a pie.
Alas it's not really a thing these days, but I give you a recipe so you can go and make your own.

Then Bob Baker our podcast barman looks at the word 'Torch' in Do You Hear What I Hear.

Next up it's the quiz. I scored a respectable 8, see if you can do better.

A couple of years ago Benji Pearson asked me to help him design his Halloween costume of Jacob Marley, well this year he's looking at being The Ghost of Christmas Present. We discuss what he looks like in What The Dickens.

Then Bob is back with Spread a Smile of Joy and he's suggesting a lovely concept called Santa's Kindness Ornament and Journal from Demdaco.

This episode's version of A Christmas Carol is 1200 Ghosts.  It's a YouTube mash up that takes clips from 400 versions of A Christmas Carol and puts them together to tell the story.  It's definitely worth a watch:
