Listening to a new podcast The Christmas countdown Show and it’s a great listen!! Would highly recommend it.
Is this on spotify?
It is indeed. It’s on all available podcast feeds. (Not a plug)
Listening to Nigel Slaters podcast A Cooks Chronicles. Season one is based on his book The Christmas Chronicles, a nostalgic look at Christmas traditions, with the focus mainly on food. The book is beautiful, would recommend it as a gift for any Christmas loving foodie.
We watched the family stone at the weekend, very very strange movie. The dinner scene is very unusual, I am in no way the wokest but it would fit more into the 1920's than the 2020's. Apart from that it had Christmas and snow, we will probably never watch it again.
I have been listening to the countdown to Christmas podcast on spotify, currently on the food episode, very US oriented obviously.
The music one was very good I thought.
This is surprisingly accurate.
The new marvel series Hawkeye landed this week and it’s set at Christmas in New York. Some of the shots are absolutely stunning.
Been a lot of hype around it, hearing ads for it everywhere.
Have watched the first two episodes and really enjoyed it. Love the "tracksuit mafia".
I watched Last Chrsitmas for the first time.I knew the twist from seeing the trailer when the film came out but I enjoyed it.
Almost a twist on the Christmas Carol story with Kate's personal growth.
BBC Radio have announced their highlights.

The wonderful "Conversations from a Long Marriage" starring Roger Allam and Joanna Lumley will return for a Christmas special.
The original Christmas special is available here via BBC Sounds (not geoblocked):
Interesting adaptations:
John Finnemore and Samantha Bond star in Moominland Midwinter; there’s the first radio adaptation of The Princess Bride.
Raiding the archives in the run up to Christmas on BBC Radio 4 extra:
* For fans of "The Box of Delights", an adaptation of another John Masefield fantasy, starring Charles Dance.
* Maeve Binch short story adaptations, including some set at Christmas
* For those who like their Christmas with some barbed wit, Rumpole of the Bailey at Christmas
I love Tom Hanks and was amazed I hadn't seen the polar express so sat down to watch it last night.
It was fun but underwhelming and the CGI/animation seemed a little creepy a times. I'm glad I've seen it but it won't be one to go on my annual re watch list.
My next two will probably be two new netflix ones A Castle For Christmas and Love Hard.
I'm loving The Chesnut Man on Netflix and Dopesick on Disney+ so I need some levity to balance it out.
I watched The Knight Before Christmas this evening on Netflix. I had pretty low expectations, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. 🙂
