It's Christmas Eve - the perfect time to pull up a chair next to
the log fire, pour yourself a glass of mulled wine and listen to
some old folklore of Wales.


In this festive special, Mark Rees takes a look at:


• Why kissing under the mistletoe isn't just about the romance


• The incredible Plygain services, in which countless candles are
used to illuminate the night


• How the town of Tenby ensured nobody had a lie-in on Christmas
Day


• A return of the horse-skulled Mari Lwyd


• And even revealing Father Christmas's first name... well,
maybe!


For some of the answers - and even more questions - press play
and join Mark Rees for the latest special festive episode of the
Ghosts & Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
