This episode I'm doing things a little differently, I'm going back to my roots - India; both of my grandmothers were born in India, during the british Colonial invasion and I wondered what Christmas was like in India during the colonial days.
Hope you guys enjoy!

This short, but sweet episode takes focus on Christmas UK songs and asks the question, are they truly depressing? and if so, why?
And how do they stack up with our American cousins usual jolly melodies!
