Episode 10 - British Classic Christmas Songs

It's episode 10 of The Total Christmas Podcast and do we have a
show for you?  Do we?  I don't know, you be the
judge.

First we look at Christmas in Australia thanks to our listener
from Perth, Rachel Teasdale, she shares a look at the delights
she serves up each year for Christmas dinner.  We also pause
for a moment to think of those poor older gentlemen who don the
white beard and thick red fur coat to be Father Christmas where
the temperatures reach around 40 degrees Celsius.

Next we discuss the origin of the term Boxing Day to describe the
day after Christmas day.

Then we have a chat with our US correspondent, Scott Newman, and
play a number of songs that are outright Christmas classics in
the UK, but may not have made the leap across the pond to the US
or to any other country for that matter.  See how many you
recognise.
Here's the list of songs I play:
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - WizzardMerry Xmas
Everybody - SladeLonely This Christmas - MudStop The Cavalry - Jona
LewieMerry Christmas Everyone - Shakin' StevensDo They Know It's
Christmas (1989) - Band Aid 2Mistletoe And Wine - Cliff
RichardChristmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) - The Darkness


This week's Yule Lad is Stubby, and honestly, I think it's a bit
unfair that all we know about him is that he's vertically
challenged.

Then there's a short bit where I beg you, the dear listener, to
leave the podcast a review, preferably a positive one. 
It'll only take a minute of your time but it would mean the world
to us.
