Come along as this hour takes you through the winter woods to chop down a Christmas tree... into the kitchen to tackle Charles Dickens' Christmas Pudding recipe... down to the mall - and beyond - to follow Jolly old St. Nick on his Christmas rounds. Finally, gather around the holiday table to share festive memories and create some new ones.
Also, for those of you who don't celebrate Christmas -- hear about one family's homegrown holiday they call "Shnarzenholler". That's what you get when one parent is Christian, the other Jewish.
Enjoy a gift basket full of winter sounds and stories brought to you by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's "Living Out Loud."
