-Hello, good evening and welcome

-to Heno, live from Llanelli...

-..and welcome to our Christmas

-Cracker Competition.

-A digital radio last night, a hamper

-of Welsh foods this afternoon...

-..but there are plenty of

-wonderful prizes still to be won.

-We have iPads, televisions

-and a coffee machine up for grabs.

-If you entered last night,

-stay by the phone.

-I could be phoning you

-in about five minutes!

-We'll also hear about another

-Christmas tradition from Ieuan.

-Today, why do we bother

-to decorate our Christmas trees?

-Mabli Tudur is in the studio

-for a chat and a song.

-I'll be singing Un Seren

-by Delwyn Sion.

-You'll also be helping me

-to pull a Christmas Cracker!

-It's a very important task.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-But first, we're off

-to the village of Llanarthne.

-The whole community have turned out

-to support a young girl...

-..who is doing something special

-for a very worthy charity.

-Alun Williams is amongst them all

-with a pair of scissors.

-It sounds very dangerous.

-What's going on, Alun?

-Fiona has decided

-to cut all her hair off.

-The question is why?

-My aunt is suffering with cancer.

-She's gone through chemotherapy.

-She's lost her hair.

-How important is your hair?

-My hair is very important to me.

-I've been growing it for so long.

-Kath Jones will be cutting

-Fiona's hair this evening.

-Do you have a special technique

-for cutting Fiona's hair?

-I'm cutting some of it...

-..so that another child with cancer

-can use the hair.

-I've always wanted

-to cut a girl's hair.

-Would it be alright

-for me to cut your hair?

-Yes,!

-Go for it.

-I hope you don't regret it.

-Wow, your hair is really long.

-I have to chop it off.

-Come over here.

-It has to be over here.

-There's no going back.

-Cut it back by here.

-I might cut your fingers off.

-Wow!

-That's cool.

-Thank you.

-This hair will go to a company.

-Yes, it goes to the

-Little Princess Trust Fund...

-..to make a wig for a child who has

-cancer.

-Join me later to see how Fiona

-looks after her haircut.

-Fiona is very brave.

-The moment has arrived.

-It's time to call a lucky viewer in

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-Don't forget to say those two

-magic words, Christmas Cracker!

-Last night, Ed Holden asked what

-was on Ryan Davies' Christmas tree.

-The answer was, of course, tinsel.

-Let's get dialling.

-I can tell you that the code

-is 01994.

-That is from the St Clears area.

-It's ringing.

-It's still ringing.

-Hello, it's Elin Fflur

-from S4C's Heno.

-Christmas Cracker!

-Yes, that's right!

-All this week, our Gardening Guru

-has looked at Christmas traditions.

-Tonight, he takes a look

-at the Christmas tree.

-The tradition of evergreen plants

-to mark Pagan winter festivals...

-..dates back thousands of years.

-The earliest use of a pine tree

-stems from Estonia and Latvia...

-..just over 500 years ago.

-The first Christmas trees were

-introduced in Victorian Britain.

-They were often lit by candles,

-which was very dangerous!

-Town centres had trees and had folk

-dances around it, but it got burnt.

-Germany started the custom

-of bringing the tree indoors.

-Early decorations were edible

-such as apples, nuts and dates.

-Glassmakers made decorations

-that are similar to modern versions.

-In 1895, the American, Ralph Morris

-invented electric Christmas lights.

-Hence making it

-a safe Christmas for all!

-Merry Christmas.

-After the break, Gerallt eats at

-the best curry house in North Wales.

-And a chat and song with one of

-Wales' young talents, Mabli Tudur.

-See you in a few minutes.

-# Gloria, Gloria!

-# Today, the Son of God is born

-# Christ the Lord,

-the King who came down from Heaven

-# Who came down from Heaven #

-We'll hear Ysgol Pen Barras, Ruthin,

-before the end of the programme.

-Mabli Tudur joins me

-in the studio today.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-It's been a very busy year for you.

-You're still in school.

-I'm still studying in the Sixth Form

-at Ysgol Plasmawr.

-I've had a very busy year.

-Over the summer,

-I filmed The Green Hollow.

-It was a film with Michael Sheen

-about Aberfan.

-The school has recently been

-performing Cysgu'n Brysur.

-I'm also releasing an EP.

-The show is about the stresses

-of being in the Sixth Form.

-The school

-hosted its Eisteddfod today.

-The school Eisteddfod had a

-Christmas feel to it.

-I've been on the programme before.

-I did sing one of my own songs.

-I'm finishing my A levels.

-I hope to go to London or Cardiff.

-But I've got to be realistic.

-You are very talented.

-I might not get into the West End.

-I feel so comfortable in that world.

-I love playing characters.

-I can't imagine doing anything else.

-How did it all start?

-I'm from a musical family.

-I started as a classical singer.

-I played Sandy in Grease.

-That was my first big role.

-Which character would you like to

-play?

-I'd love to play Mary Poppins.

-Appearing in Les Miserables

-would be brilliant too.

-School of Rock sounds great too.

-I'd love to appear in that.

-Tonight's song is the classic

-Delwyn Sion track, Un Seren.

-I love the song.

-Rhys, my friend, is playing the

-guitar for me too.

-I loved playing the Christmas

-The prizes are great!

-I've got some fantastic news for

-curry fans in the Caernarfon area.

-Sopna near Pontrug has won the title

-for best curry house in North Wales.

-Gerallt congratulates them...

-..and making sure the judges did a

-proper job, he also tried the curry!

-Shashlick, Korma or a Dopiaza.

-At the Sopna restaurant, it matters

-not the taste or heat of a curry...

-..because the same care is taken

-to prepare each and every one.

-It's not overnight that these chefs

-master a Madras or perfect a Pilau.

-I love the smells of a kitchen

-in an Indian restaurant.

-I wish I could share

-these wonderful aromas with you.

-It's an education just to watch Raj.

-He's not still for one moment.

-However, there are some hungry

-people waiting for their meals...

-..and this food looks spectacular.

-Let's find out what they think.

-Just look at this table,

-there is so much choice.

-You don't just have to have rice.

-There is plenty of meat

-and a variety of vegetables.

-Plenty of colour and nourishment.

-I have been coming to Sopna

-for a few years.

-I have a variety of reasons

-for supporting Sopna.

-I'm Vice Chair of Caernarfon

-Cricket Club and Sopna sponsor us...

-..and their curries are incredible.

-Shajanur,

-it smells absolutely perfect.

-Congratulations on the

-Best Curry House in North Wales.

-What's the secret of a good curry?

-When I was 16, I started

-a full-time job in North Wales.

-I've been making this curry

-for 24 years.

-If I started to learn

-to cook curry today...

-..maybe in 20 years time,

-I'd be as half as good as you.

-Maybe similar to me!

-Congratulations again.

-Thank you.

-Congratulations to Sopna

-for winning another award.

-I'm not surprised because

-it's such a warm place.

-That is very unusual for

-Indian restaurants in this area.

-What I enjoy about coming here is

-the colourful fare and tasty food.

-There is also a real Welsh welcome.

-Shah has made a real effort to learn

-Welsh and it's a pleasure to visit.

-Thank you for the lovely food.

-Congratulations.

-You can't move!

-Why is the curry here so good?

-We try our best always.

-Many people say "Very nice,

-wonderful and I can't move"!

-Friends, I'm sure we want to thank

-Shah and congratulate him too.

-Thank you.

-Congratulations to them.

-It's time to return to Alun

-in Llanarthne...

-No thank you, Alun!

-Here's Rhys Meirion with a reminder

-of tonight's Cracker question.

-1) red, 2) blue, or 3) green?

-# Merry Christmas to you! #

-Time to hear our second carol from

-today's Christmas Carol Competition.

-# That man had gone so far

-# So far

-# But there you go

-# It's a strange old world

-# That's not how it used to be

-# Things were better back then

-# But maybe it's me

-who's old fashioned

-# One star

-# Only one star

-# Only one star mattered to us

-# Only one star

-# High above Bethlehem

-# Only one star mattered to us

-# Christmas is expensive

-# It's a struggle

-# Christmas is a gem

-# It is beautiful

-# I find it hard to believe

-# That man has forgotten

-# Completely

-# The beauty,

-the wonder of the season

-# That's not how it used to be

-# Things were better back then

-# But maybe it's me

-who's old fashioned

-# One star

-# One star

-# Only one star mattered to us

-# Only one star

-# High above Bethlehem

-# Only one star mattered to us

-# Mattered to us #
