-our most important Christmas cards.

-Daf Wyn joins the London-Welsh

-# The sleigh bells are approaching #

-Wonderful!

-Welcome to Bore Da.

-We start at Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbran.

-An important visitor came to

-the school earlier this week...

-..to congratulate a pupil.

-Here's the story.

-I've come to Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbran

-for a very special Assembly.

-A pupil who has won a competition

-for designing a Christmas card.

-Someone has come here today

-to congratulate Travis.

-It's none other than

-our First Minister, Carwyn Jones.

-Over the years, I have chosen

-pictures for the Christmas card.

-This year, we decided to have a

-competition to design a card...

-..and winner is here this morning.

-Miss Griffiths is Travis' teacher

-and is very proud.

-He's such a likable character

-and very quiet.

-He's done us proud and especially

-having Carwyn Jones at the school.

-We've been singing carols and the

-other children have made us proud.

-Here is the man himself,

-the winner, Travis.

-You must be very happy.

-You must be very happy.

-

-I'm delighted.

-You look very happy.

-Why did you choose this design?

-It shows Wales and Christmas.

-Was it a big shock

-to hear that you had won?

-A huge shock.

-As Travis' best friend,

-how proud of him are you?

-I am very proud because he won

-across the whole of Wales.

-How did Travis react when he won?

-You should have seen his face!

-We were all proud and the

-whole class congratulated him.

-It was a great feeling and then we

-heard Carwyn Jones was coming in.

-He can't do anything wrong.

-It was exciting for the children

-to do something like this.

-The card will be sent across

-the world with Travis' design.

-A huge congratulations to Travis!

-From Cwmbran to London next.

-Jewin Welsh Chapel was packed

-last Sunday for a Christmas concert.

-Daf Wyn joined the festivities.

-The spirit of Christmas

-has reached London...

-..and the city's

-Welsh community has gathered...

-..for one highlight of the season -

-the Jewin Chapel Christmas Concert!

-It's the third time

-for the chapel to host the concert.

-The building was full to bursting

-and ready for the Welsh to sing.

-One of the reasons for hosting

-this at the start of December...

-..is because many haven't attended a

-Christmas event before this concert.

-We're very proud at Jewin Chapel...

-..that this is well-established

-in our Christmas calendar.

-We're very proud of this because

-London is very busy at Christmas.

-This is

-a well-established concert...

-..and an event worth visiting

-for the performances and the music.

-We never do concerts like this...

-..so it's a great opportunity for us

-to play to a new audience.

-The event is fantastic

-and the place is full.

-It's wonderful to see so many

-Welsh people in London at Christmas.

-# Tonight, with the world ablaze? #

-We performed Sound An Alarm

-from Handel's Judas Maccabeus...

-..Anfonaf Angel

-and Gwinllan A Roddwyd I'm Gofal.

-It's wonderful to come

-to Jewin Chapel in London...

-..to sing in Welsh with the

-London Welsh Male Voice Choir...

-..and all the other Welsh people

-in London to celebrate Christmas.

-The evening raised funds

-for two homeless charities...

-..and featured instrumental pieces,

-operatic excerpts and readings.

-Something for everyone.

-It's your third time.

-What brings you back every year?

-I love doing this because it's

-one of the best nights of the year.

-I love coming to Jewin Chapel

-and hope to be here next year too!

-Have you enjoyed?

-It's been incredible to be in London

-and surrounded by friends...

-..and people who travelled

-far and wide to be here tonight.

-Sitting in the congregation and

-hearing the artists was fantastic.

-It was a piece of home

-in the heart of London.

-I've been coming to Jewin Chapel

-for over 30 years.

-It's great to be a part

-of something that's so successful.

-You've also got your new harp.

-Yes, it's the first outing for my

-new harp in London and it behaved!

-# Is seeing your smiles

-in your cradle #

-Was it what you expected?

-Yes, because we knew

-what was going to happen.

-We were the black sheep

-amongst all the professionals...

-..but I think they enjoyed

-our performances.

-We had a great response.

-What did you think

-of tonight's concert?

-It was brilliant

-and the atmosphere was incredible.

-It's my first time at Jewin Chapel

-and I loved it.

-Are you in the Christmas spirit now?

-Are you in the Christmas spirit now?

-

-Yes, I'm ready for Father Christmas!

-Wonderful.

-You don't have to go far

-to do your Christmas shopping.

-There are lovely gifts to buy

-on our doorstep.

-We prove this by visiting two towns

-in North and South Wales.

-We start at Llanrwst

-with Elin Fflur.

-One of the first things that come

-to mind when we think of Llanrwst...

-..is the iconic bridge behind me.

-On a freezing cold day like today,

-it looks just like a Christmas card.

-I'm here today

-to do some Christmas shopping...

-..because they tell me that there is

-something for everyone in Llanrwst.

-I begin my journey with something

-close to my heart...

-..some tasty treats and wine.

-This is like heaven.

-I can see bottles of wine

-but what else do you have here?

-Wine, beer, Welsh spirits and mead.

-A bit of everything but we only

-stock around 1,000 bottles of wine.

-I love red wine

-so can you suggest a bottle?

-I'd heard you did

-and that you also love Patagonia.

-I thought about this Malbec Reserva

-from Humberto Canale.

-Can I open it now?

-Can I open it now?

-

-Of course!

-I've bought a small vineyard. Oops!

-And those other vital things, the

-turkey, goose, sausage and bacon.

-What about the ham, beef and lamb?

-No problem at all.

-Morfudd, you're going to be busy

-over Christmas.

-Yes, I hope so!

-Turkeys are very popular

-so how many will you sell?

-We sell more than 200.

-Many people like turkey crowns.

-This time of year, we sell turkeys,

-geese and quite a lot of hams.

-The pies also sell well

-as something for Boxing Day.

-Decorating the house is important

-and florists have plenty of ideas.

-We sell decorations

-and other accessories.

-We sell all manner of jugs

-and plant pots.

-We also have Christmas decorations.

-Next door to Y Siop Flodau

-is the jewellery store, Carreg Aur.

-If you're planning on spoiling

-someone special this Christmas...

-..this is the place to visit.

-As if all the great shops

-in Llanrwst aren't enough...

-..there's also a market

-every Tuesday.

-You can find a little bit

-of everything here too.

-Llanrwst is developing fast

-and this shop has only just opened.

-It's the place to come

-for your spectacles.

-Books are our priority and there

-are all kinds of books for everyone.

-Some for adults, children, learners

-and English books about Wales.

-We also have football books.

-Over the festive period, we have

-many nice gifts for people to buy...

-..cushions, bags, jewellery...

-..plenty of Christmas

-cards and decorations.

-Everything to make your house

-look lovely.

-After a hard day's shopping

-around Llanrwst...

-..it's back to the Amser Da cafe

-for a deserved cup of tea.

-Merry Christmas.

-Thanks, Elin.

-Plenty of choice in Llanrwst.

-Before the end of the programme,

-we'll visit Lampeter.

-That's it for part one,

-but in part two...

-..Daf Wyn and Steff continue

-their Everest Base Camp trek.

-And Carys Tudor has advice on

-how to wrap oddly-shaped gifts.

-Don't go far!

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-If there was a country you'd like

-to visit, which one would it be?

-Daf Wyn and Steff the weatherman

-fulfilled a dream...

-..and visited Everest Base Camp.

-They had an amazing time

-and here's the story so far.

-After the adrenalin-fuelled trip

-to the world's smallest runway...

-..from Kathmandu to Lukla

-it was time to walk to Base Camp.

-Here we go for the next twelve days.

-Our journey started 2,860 metres

-above sea level in Lukla...

-..before passing through towns

-and villages to Everest Base Camp...

-..5,364 metres above sea level.

-Considering we were far

-from any city...

-..there were familiar things

-along the way.

-Wherever you go in the world...

-..you'll always find a Starbucks

-and an Irish bar.

-It's nice and not too hot.

-It feels fresh

-and we're in the Himalayas.

-It's very pretty.

-The land is fertile and green.

-There were good paths

-for all the hikers.

-Most of the inhabitants of Kathmandu

-were Hindu...

-..but here they were

-mostly Buddhist.

-That's because we were closer

-to Tibet.

-There were plenty of prayer wheels

-to be seen along the way.

-This is interesting.

-It's a GLOF risk management sign.

-GLOF means a glacial lake

-outburst flood.

-With global warming, GLOF is more

-likely in places like this.

-Anything for me to worry about?

-Anything for me to worry about?

-

-I hope not.

-If it did happen, a huge wave of

-water would run down this valley.

-We wouldn't stand a chance

-but I hope it never happens.

-At the end of the first day...

-..we stayed in a sleepy village

-200m lower down from Lukla.

-Here we are, home sweet home!

-Home for the night.

-Good morning.

-This is the second day, our first

-real day of hiking - seven miles.

-Today will be the first day

-that we will see Everest.

-Namche Bazaar was next

-with 800 metres of climbing...

-..over six hours of slow walking

-to combat altitude sickness.

-This was our first experience of

-walking over a suspension bridge.

-It's lucky we're not scared

-of heights!

-We were now in

-Sagarmatha National Park.

-Sagarmatha is what the Nepalese

-call Everest.

-Life is simple here and the

-traditional ways of living...

-..haven't changed for centuries.

-There are plenty of hikers

-in May and October.

-Finally, we arrived at Namche Bazaar

-at 3,400 above sea level.

-This is where we'd stay

-for two nights to acclimatize.

-In Namche, we saw our first glimpse

-of Everest.

-This is a statue of the first Sherpa

-to conquer Everest in 1953...

-..Tenzing Norgay.

-We are now 3,700 metres above sea

-level and above Namche Bazaar.

-I didn't expect to see this today.

-It's an old runway, possibly

-the highest in the world.

-It doesn't operate anymore

-because of concerns...

-..that it would take jobs

-away from local people.

-As we climbed higher with every step

-and the landscape becoming barer...

-..it became colder and it took us

-two days to reach towns higher up...

-..for another day

-of acclimatization.

-I am feeling

-the effects of altitude.

-I have just fainted...

-..and I have a cold

-and it's freezing!

-Daf doesn't feel too well either.

-Tomorrow is a day of

-acclimatization.

-I hope we feel better

-by tomorrow night.

-For now, goodnight.

-There was no point complaining as we

-had another 1,000 metres to climb...

-..and three more days

-before we reached Base Camp.

-Waw! Thanks for sharing

-your journey with us, lads.

-There's nothing worse than wrapping

-an oddly-shaped Christmas present.

-This morning, we have perfect tips

-for making wrapping easier for us.

-Enjoy.

-Most of us hate wrapping Christmas

-presents, especially awkward ones.

-I tend to guess my way through and

-probably make a complete mess of it.

-But don't despair,

-Carys Tudor is here!

-Welcome to the programme.

-What do you call an odd-shaped gift?

-What do you call an odd-shaped gift?

-

-Mostly everything.

-If it isn't in a square box

-it's difficult to wrap.

-I've got a few ideas

-and will set you a challenge.

-It looks awkward to wrap,

-but it isn't.

-We start with this

-gold coloured example.

-I've made a bag out

-of wrapping paper.

-Fold the paper, fold the sides,

-sellotape them and bend the top.

-This bag is perfect

-for odd-shaped gifts...

-..that you buy for children.

-That's a great idea

-and cheaper than buying a gift bag.

-Buying gift bags can be expensive.

-I've also dressed it

-with some decorative tape.

-It looks a lot better

-than an ordinary bag.

-We move onto round-shaped goods.

-This is an example

-but it can be taller or wider.

-Tissue paper is brilliant.

-You can't go wrong with it

-and it's cheap.

-I've used two shades of colour here

-- two pinks but one with spots.

-Pull the four corners together.

-Scrunch it.

-That's lovely.

-You can dress it with

-a Christmas tree decoration.

-Have a look in an old jewellery box

-and use an unwanted necklace.

-I've been so organized this year

-and have wrapped all my presents.

-Did you buy all square-shaped gifts?

-Did you buy all square-shaped gifts?

-

-Yes, I did!

-I had trouble with some of them

-so I should've waited until today!

-That looks so nice.

-Come and wrap my presents.

-Only if you buy mine!

-It's simple,

-even with a shape like that.

-You may have two items...

-..such as fragrances

-or two bottles of wine.

-Stand them next together

-on some tissue paper.

-Lie them down.

-I've got two layers of paper here.

-The paper is thin

-so you need more layers.

-I've only got two layers here.

-But when you start rolling it,

-one layer would be sufficient.

-Fold them together

-and tie it at the top.

-That's great.

-This is a great idea

-for wine bottles.

-You've made it in 30 seconds.

-Simple, effective and inexpensive.

-Thanks for the great ideas, Carys.

-That's it for now.

-In the next part...

-..we visit one of Wales'

-most historical buildings.

-The old Coal Exchange

-in Cardiff Bay.

-We continue our shopping trip

-around small towns.

-Hana Medi

-is in Lampeter town centre.

-Gerallt Pennant visits a brand-new

-furniture shop in Caernarfon town.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-One of Wales' historical buildings

-is The Coal Exchange in Cardiff Bay.

-It contributed immensely to the

-Industrial Revolution in Wales...

-..Britain and around the world.

-After of years of lying dormant,

-new exciting developments are afoot.

-Here's a preview for you.

-For historians it's among the most

-iconic buildings in the capital...

-..and a historical site from the

-golden age of industry in Wales.

-For another generation,

-it's home to music...

-..from Van Morrison, Geraint Jarman,

-to Catatonia and the Manics.

-This place has welcomed the greats.

-But it was home to greater things

-from the early days.

-It dates from a golden era in Wales

-and was built back in 1883.

-It handled the colossal wealth that

-passed through the city of Cardiff.

-You can't imagine this place

-packed with buyers and sellers.

-Fortunes were made and lost here.

-The meaning of these Latin words

-are 'time flies' or even 'escape'.

-The message is to hurry up, don't

-waste time and grab opportunities.

-And that's what they did.

-The first deal was for 1 million

-and the cheque was signed here.

-Gentleman wore top hats and spats.

-Traders filled the entire hall

-and discussed commerce and exports.

-There's a story from

-every nook and cranny here.

-Like this memorial plaque for those

-workers who died in the Great War.

-J L Williams is among them and

-he captained the Wales rugby team.

-He was killed at Mametz Wood

-and was a talented winger...

-..and he scored 51 points for Wales.

-On average he scored one try at each

-match which is certainly remarkable.

-The building is also remarkable

-and is Grade II Listed.

-Its future could've been safeguarded

-years ago, not for musical greats...

-..but a Welsh Assembly if Wales

-had voted for one back in 1979.

-Recent news of deterioration

-and health and safety concerns...

-..suggested that the place

-may never open its doors ago.

-But now, at last, there's hope.

-Plans are afoot to transform it

-into a luxury hotel.

-As you can see,

-the work is well underway.

-Of all the buildings in Cardiff this

-one I wanted to see have a makeover.

-I was a student in Cardiff

-and often attended gigs here.

-I didn't realize at the time

-how lucky we were to have it.

-I had greats nights

-at such a great building.

-What's the consensus about seeing

-the place being renovated?

-Fantastic, and we've just reached

-one section and it looks amazing.

-I'm surprised how much can be done

-in a short timescale.

-This room and the other rooms

-look amazing.

-It's a massive task

-and a lot of work is involved.

-There's an infestation of plants and

-rainfall and some dilapidated areas.

-But the building is still standing.

-Hopefully, it's the first step to

-renovate other buildings around us.

-This is the final section of the Bay

-that hasn't got new constructions...

-..and now there's an opportunity for

-the whole area to be transformed.

-The developments look exciting.

-We've already seen Elin Fflur

-Christmas shopping in Llanrwst.

-It's time to head south now

-and visit Lampeter with Hana Medi.

-Christmas is only weeks away and

-it's time for me to start shopping.

-Where better to do just that

-than here in Lampeter.

-It's half an hour from home

-and sells a bit of everything.

-Lampeter is in Ceredigion, on the

-border with Carmarthenshire...

-..and home to 3,000 people.

-There are hairdressers,

-cafes, a craft shop...

-..a florist and

-an electrical shop.

-There really is something

-for everyone.

-I'm starting with the most important

-person, my niece, Efa.

-There is so much choice

-at Siop y Smotyn Du.

-Books and Welsh CDs

-for people of all ages.

-I think I'll take this one.

-Next on the list, my pets.

-I mustn't forget about them.

-Moli and Mali will be

-a happy dog and cat.

-The lovely aroma of cakes

-from the bakery...

-..can be smelled

-across the town.

-As well as selling different treats,

-they sell chutneys and honey...

-..perfect gifts for my grandparents.

-Just down the road is Gwilym Price's

-family business.

-It was established

-over 50 years ago.

-Here you can find luxurious gifts

-for all the family under one roof.

-We are a family business

-and I'm the third generation.

-My grandfather started the business

-back in 1953.

-My father, aunt and grandmother

-also worked in the business.

-We try to stock a bit of everything,

-from gifts for babies and kids...

-..to gifts for all ages.

-We try to attract shoppers.

-There are a few new shops opening

-which is great for shops like us.

-It pulls more people in

-and gives them more choice.

-We have a shopping evening on the

-eighth when shops stay open late.

-Come to Lampeter on 8 December.

-There you go.

-There you go.

-

-Thanks.

-That's Mam and Dad sorted!

-Only one person left,

-my sister Lora.

-Hidden in a back street is this

-wonderful shop, Ruby Rose.

-I has plenty of gifts,

-from jewellery to candles.

-That's the list sorted, but with the

-Christmas party around the corner...

-..I needed a frock.

-Between Mary Kate's new shop

-and Lan Llofft...

-..you're sure to find

-the perfect dress.

-We sell ladies' fashion,

-casual and formal wear.

-At this time of year, we also sell

-Christmas party frocks.

-We also have some gift ideas,

-scarves and jewellery...

-..and we also have gift vouchers.

-I'm all tired out,

-but don't you worry...

-..there are plenty of places

-to sit down and have a cuppa.

-There we are, a successful

-day's shopping here in Lampeter.

-There's only one thing for it,

-a cup of tea and some cake.

-Merry Christmas!

-Yes, indeed.

-It's important to support

-our smaller shops.

-From Lampeter to Caernarfon next.

-A furniture shop with a difference

-has opened in the town of the Cofis.

-Gerallt Pennant had a snoop around.

-Caernarfon high street welcomes

-new faces and a new business.

-Tim Roberts and Sian Rees Astley

-have a furniture shop.

-The pair say that fans of modern

-and the traditional should stop by!

-It's a furniture shop like no other.

-Yes, we started this venture

-after renovating our own home.

-We found that Ikea and other similar

-shops didn't have anything unique.

-We noticed that all our friends

-had the same sort of furniture.

-We started the business because we

-wanted to create something unique.

-What's your story?

-I graduated in Fine Art

-from Coleg Menai in Bangor in 2015.

-It's important for me to create

-a platform for young artists...

-..so that I could sell their work

-and the work of local artists.

-There's a lot of items in the shop

-and most of it is second-hand...

-..which suggests

-that every piece has a story.

-Yes, and this Uniflex dresser from

-the 1960s was bought in Flint.

-I think this style

-suits modern homes.

-I also like buying Welsh blankets.

-They are worth 200

-and everyone's fighting over them.

-They look great in the home too.

-People fight over them

-but you beat them all to it.

-Yes, we sell them

-as soon as they arrive.

-Hello, Mam!

-Yes, I remember you and many other

-mothers buying Ercol furniture.

-They are on sale in this shop

-and are as popular as ever.

-There's furniture and a space

-for the work of local artists.

-Our current artist is Tom Vousden.

-He makes furniture

-out of American Black Walnut...

-..such as this desk

-and the chair that I'm sitting in.

-This is so stylish and timeless.

-It has simple, minimalist lines

-that are great.

-We like to provide opportunities

-to various artists in our shop...

-..and currently have the work

-of Tomos Lewis-Jones from Bethesda.

-At first glance, his work resembles

-bright, fun cartoons...

-..but they are also

-an interesting talking point.

-As you look closely,

-you find little messages.

-One of his pieces is about war.

-At first glance,

-it looks very colourful...

-..but it creates a very interesting

-talking point in a home.

-We've been open for two months

-and it's been great.

-There's a real community feeling

-in Caernarfon.

-All the independent shops offer each

-other a helping hand which is great.

-Tim and I love it

-and we wouldn't change a thing.

-If you're in the Caernarfon area,

-don't forget to call in!

-In the final part

-of the programme...

-..beef ribs are on the menu

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-And there's a festive song

-by one of my favourite artists.

-Go and make a quick cuppa

-and join me in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Our next stop is the kitchen.

-Beef ribs are on the menu

-with Elwen.

-Enjoy.

-I'm going to prepare ribs.

-I'm using Welsh beef ribs.

-Carrying on from the sprouts,

-do you boil them?

-I add a little water

-but I like al dente.

-I mixed them with butter and bacon.

-Do you cut a cross in the base?

-Do you cut a cross in the base?

-

-No, I don't.

-And that's your answer.

-Boil them

-and don't cut a cross in the base!

-I must admit that I don't.

-I thought this recipe

-would be nice for Christmas.

-These are the cheaper ribs.

-They're from the brisket.

-It isn't a rib-eye steak.

-It's a lot cheaper.

-They need a lot of time to cook.

-But just as tasty.

-But just as tasty.

-

-Oh, they're great.

-They're delicious.

-Your butcher will prepare

-these ribs for you.

-Sometimes,

-they call it Jacob's Ladder.

-You've got to know

-what you're asking for.

-The ribs have been browned

-so I'll turn off the hob now.

-You can cook as many as you want.

-The meat is still

-slightly pink in the middle.

-Yes, the meat is still cooked.

-They're similar to the pork ribs

-that seem popular.

-You need to cook it for a long time.

-I'm making a sauce

-and chopped some onion and garlic.

-I'm using ingredients

-that are in our cupboards.

-I've got ketchup and barbecue sauce.

-I'm pouring in some harissa paste.

-I'm using two tablespoons

-which is almost a whole jar.

-What is harissa paste?

-It's like chilli sauce

-but isn't too hot.

-Add some cayenne pepper.

-Most homes have these ingredients.

-I'm just going to make a noise.

-I need to blitz this.

-Go for it.

-Lovely.

-It doesn't take long

-and makes life easier.

-All we need to do now...

-All we need to do now...

-

-It's got a festive colour.

-All you need to do now

-is pour this mixture over the ribs.

-Completely cover them.

-I'll start to heat them again

-for about a minute...

-..for the sauce

-to brown on the ribs.

-It smells so tasty.

-I like this recipe because

-you can prepare it in a slow cooker.

-It's perfect to make

-on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day.

-Is it the type of meat

-I'm using

-more sauce ingredients now.

-I've got a tin of tomatoes.

-Mix it with a tin coconut milk.

-Add a splash of plain vinegar.

-Pour in some brown sugar.

-What a mixture!

-If you use a crumbly stock cube,

-you don't need any liquid.

-But I've used some

-and I need a bigger bowl.

-I've used beef stock for this.

-And coca-cola.

-And coca-cola.

-

-Coca-cola?

-Pour 200ml of Coke into it.

-A lot of people boil ham

-in coca-cola for flavouring.

-Boiling ham in coca-cola?

-Boiling ham in coca-cola?

-

-It adds some flavour.

-Let me find a clean spoon.

-I'm going to add

-a spoonful of treacle.

-That's sweet.

-Treacle is quite sour.

-I'm making a sort of

-rich barbecue sauce.

-It looks great on the top

-and sticky.

-Pour it in like this.

-Mix it all together.

-Pour it on top of the mixture.

-Ten out ten

-for the size of the bowl!

-It's the perfect size.

-It would overfill it.

-Look out for splashes!

-Pour the entire mixture

-into the frying pan.

-I would transfer it

-to a larger bowl.

-Cook it in the oven

-for about five hours.

-Five hours?

-Five hours?

-

-Or cook it in a slow cooker.

-It takes the same length of time

-to cook in a slow cooker.

-Yes, it does.

-I've taken out the ribs...

-..and crisped them quickly

-in the oven.

-The end result looks like this.

-Remove the ribs from the sauce.

-After five hours, take them out

-and they will look like this.

-Can you pass me the plate?

-They've also browned by this point.

-The meat just falls off the bone.

-The bones are falling apart.

-The bones are falling apart.

-Christmas has already arrived!

-I didn't eat a lot for lunch.

-I didn't eat a lot for lunch.

-

-I ate plenty but it doesn't matter!

-This is the finished sauce.

-It's delicious and so warming.

-It's the perfect winter meal.

-I'll give this to you and I'll

-serve it with mashed potatoes.

-I'll show it to the viewers at home.

-Here's some cutlery for you.

-It's one of those moments

-when we need smell-o-vision!

-The bones become so brittle.

-I've got some mashed potatoes here.

-You can use sweet potatoes

-or plain potatoes.

-Thank you, Elwen.

-I'm going to stuff my face

-with meat now!

-It's a shame I have to read next

-when I just want to eat this up!

-It's cheap meal to make

-as it's a cheap piece of meat.

-Waw! That looked so tasty!

-Less than a fortnight

-remains until the big day.

-Let's enjoy a Christmas song

-to get us into the festive mood.

-Al Lewis performs Clychau'r Ceirw.

-# Santa is approaching

-# And the children of the world

-are tucked up in their beds

-# Their eyes won't close

-# The sleigh bells are approaching

-# A glassful of milk for you

-# For giving me a full stocking

-# Santa Claus has been

-# Santa Claus has been

-# The sound of hooves on the roof

-# Landing warmly on the coals

-# Stepping lightly and joyfully

-# To fill the stocking

-in time for Christmas

-# Then very quietly

-# He's emptying his sack

-and he's on his way

-# Santa Claus has been

-# Santa Claus has been

-# Waking early with the dawn

-# The joy of Christmas is among us

-# Yes, you came down our chimney

-# Wrapping paper fills the house

-# A place full of smiles

-# The feeling will never fade

-# Santa Claus has been

-# Santa Claus has been

-# Santa Claus has been

-# Santa Claus has been #

-Great. Al Lewis is fantastic.
