A fabulous festive feast!

A wonderful collection of classic writings about Christmas with narrators both British and American matching the piece. Varied pieces of varied lengths all are worth listening to and all enjoyable apart from what should be the most important. Sadly the narrator of the Authorised version (here re-named the King James’ version) of the Nativity interrupts the free flowing of the story by numbering each verse. However that apart a wonderful thirty hours and now archived ready for NEXT Advent!
