Greg Wise and Emma Thompson curate a collection of personal essays reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas.

The ten selected writers reading their reminiscences of Christmas past include:

* Meera Syal
* Lyse Doucet
* Emma Thompson
* Greg Wise
* Deborah Frances-White

Each writer draws on the themes of kindness, acceptance and tolerance and takes us from Queensland to Pennsylvania to the Black Country and beyond.

More sobering memories come from the Jungle in Calais, a small village in Rwanda and London's inhospitable streets.

Omnibus of five episodes abridged by Richard Hamilton

Producer: Elizabeth Allard

First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in December 2019.
