Turkey is the main traditional feast on Christmas Day here in the UK, but why?
In this final episode of 2022 I delve into the history of Turkey at Christmas, where it originated from and what famous King made it popular.
The run up to this season has been a bit of a challenge as my family caught covid so I've been unable to record this month, but fear not I have a final episode for you!
I hope you enjoy it and hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Day with you and yours!
From me and mine, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
See you in 2023!

Every year Her Majesty the Queen sits down on Christmas Day at 3PM (GMT) to address the nation and the Commonwealth nations delivering her Queen's Speech.
Sadly we lost the Queen in September, so I decided to take a look at the history of the Queen's Speech including the first televised production of it.
This year's speech will be very different, this time delivered by King Charles III.
The speech serves a reminder of the joys of Christmas aswell as the meaning behind it.
Hope you enjoy it.
