This episode is all about the Band-Aid Number 1 - "Do They Know It's Christmas Time", written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, it reached applause and fame after it's release in November of 1984, and was covered 3 more times with 3 different messages attached over the years; next year celebrating 40 years since it's original release.
I also spoke to Adam from Merry Britsmas about our love for Christmas from the UK, why he decided to create Merry Britsmas and what inspired him. We go through his favourite UK Christmas song and favourite UK Christmas TV special.

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!
