Episode 115 - Christmas Turkey

Hello you beautiful people.
For many years I've thought Scrooge's gift to the Cratchitt family of a huge turkey was ridiculous. How on earth would they cook it in time for their Christmas dinner?
Well greater minds than mine have looked into it and thanks to their brains and research we look at it the feasibility of such a large turkey.

Keeping on the subject of Turkey's, this episode's Christmas Not So Classic is Ho Ho Ho (Who'd be a Turkey at Christmas) by Sir Elton John.
It's not that good, but you can check it out here:

Then, in Do You Hear What I Hear, Bob Baker looks at the word Jelly as used to describe Santa's belly.

Then it's The Quiz, I scored a respectable 8. Let me know how you got on.

After the joke Bob returns with Spread A Smile of Joy and he looks at the practice of Jeep Ducking.

In Christmas All Over The World we look at the lovely Mexican tradition of Las Posadas, where a procession of people re-enact Joseph and Mary's attempts to find lodgings.  It's fun for all the family.

This episode's recommendation comes from listener Timothy Lewis and it's called Words Unravelled, a podcast that looks at everything to do with words.  
Have a listen, I think you'll enjoy it:
