-..will roast a turkey and trimmings

-for the needy in Llanelli.

-They have been doing this

-for many years.

-Welcome to the programme, Adrian.

-Thank you

-and a Merry Christmas to you all!

-And the same to you too.

-Describe a typical Christmas Day

-for you, Adrian.

-It starts with a 30-minute service

-at 9.30am...

-..and then... Wow!

-It's take off which is quite apt

-for the events this week.

-Everything

-will be prepared beforehand.

-We've got a team

-who prepares the vegetables.

-All we have to do

-is turn a switch on the cookers.

-And lunch will be ready.

-It isn't quite ready

-but it's being cooked.

-How many are you expecting and

-who will eat your fantastic dinner?

-This year, there's only 20 people

-on the list at the moment.

-If anyone in Llanelli

-is feeling lonely over Christmas...

-..even a husband and wife who's

-children have flown the nest...

-..they are welcome to join us.

-Call us on 775 278

-or contact us via Tinopolis.

-Call us and don't be

-by yourself over Christmas.

-Details of the website

-have been on your screen.

-If someone can't get to you,

-do you offer a taxi service?

-Yes, we have a team

-who can collect you...

- take you home

-later in the afternoon.

-They can spend

-the afternoon socializing.

-Yes, and some entertainment.

-It takes a lot of time

-to prepare for such a special day.

-You rely on other people

-for various donations.

-Yes, that's right.

-We get a lot of help

-and people are very generous...

-..and get into the true spirit

-of Christmas.

-We're given food and have donations

-towards the Christmas dinner.

-Nobody has to pay for this dinner

-as it's for free...

-..but people are welcome

-to make a donation.

-We don't ask for anything

-as this is community-based.

-You've been doing this

-for a number of years, Adrian.

-If my memory serves me well,

-then this is my 24th year.

-Earlier, you told us of an incident

-when the oven broke...

-..and you had to take the parsnips

-home to cook.

-Yes, that's right.

-It was about two years ago

-at 11.00am...

-..and we noticed that nothing

-was happening to the parsnips.

-The oven was broken.

-I put them in the car boot, took

-them home to cook for an hour...

-..and brought them back

-and people were none the wiser.

-I was like a swan - calm on the

-surface but paddling underneath.

-You're also very grateful for

-the donations of a specific school.

-Yes, we have a Christmas dinner but

-also distribute hampers of food...

-..and a number of gifts.

-Bryngwyn Comprehensive School

-is excellent to us.

-They raise money

-throughout the year.

-At Christmas,

-they go shopping to buy presents.

-Yesterday,

-we had a van full of presents.

-We can see images of the gifts

-and there's a whole host of them.

-Yes, and that's why we need a van.

-At one time, we collected them

-in cars but we're a bit wiser now.

-Who gets these presents?

-We don't know any names but

-are told of the family network...

-..the father, mother,

-age and sex of the children.

-The health workers collect the gifts

-and deliver them...

-..so the families

-retain their anonymity.

-I'm sure there's an incredible

-atmosphere on Christmas Day.

-Yes, we have a lot of fun.

-Let me tell you a story

-about some of the people.

-Two ladies who live about 100 yards

-from each other...

-..barely exchanged a few greetings

-during the year...

-..but they sat together one

-Christmas and are lifelong friends.

-They didn't know each other before

-that time despite being neighbours.

-Can you put your feet up after

-you've served dinner and washed up?

-Yes, I put my feet up.

-Do you cook another turkey

-when you get home?

-No, I'll have dinner

-after we've served our guests...

-..and we sit amongst them.

-There's room for people to join you

-if they are alone at Christmas.

-Merry Christmas to you, Adrian

-and everyone in the Salvation Army.

-Thank you very much.

-And to you too.

-There's only a few schools left

-in our Christmas Carol Competition.

-All the carols have been incredible

-so far.

-Today, we venture to Ammanford

-for the carol from Ysgol Bro Banw.

-We're Ysgol Bro Banw in Ammanford.

-Our carol is about decorating the

-Christmas tree and making the food.

-Our altos and sopranos sound perfect

-and we've had a lot of fun.

-Merry Christmas!

-# The time has come

-to celebrate the festival

-# Full of joy and excitement

-and a handful of fun

-# We celebrate his birth,

-our Lord God

-# We'll spread the Good News

-over every mountain and sea

-# We'll sing our song

-and bring Wales together

-# And share our excitement

-with the four corners of the globe

-# We'll hold our hands

-for the biggest miracle

-# And thank the Lord

-for the birth of Jesus Christ

-# We'll light up the streets

-and decorate our trees

-# And stuff the turkey,

-the biggest in the world

-# We'll prepare our concert

-and learn every word

-# I really hope that I can play Mary

-this year

-# We'll sing our song

-and bring Wales together

-# And share our excitement

-with the four corners of the globe

-# We'll hold our hands

-for the biggest miracle

-# And thank the Lord

-for the birth of Jesus Christ

-# I've behaved throughout the year

-# I'm hopeful

-that Father Christmas will call

-# We'll put carrots,

-mince pies and wine ready

-# It's no surprise

-that he has a large belly

-# We'll sing our song

-and bring Wales together

-# And share our excitement

-with the four corners of the globe

-# We'll hold our hands

-for the biggest miracle

-# And thank the Lord

-for the birth of Jesus Christ

-# We'll sing our song

-and bring Wales together

-# And share our excitement

-with the four corners of the globe

-# We'll hold our hands

-for the biggest miracle

-# And thank the Lord

-for the birth of Jesus Christ

-# And thank the Lord

-for the birth of Jesus Christ #

-Yeah!

-Yeah! They were having a lot of fun.

-Our thanks to Ysgol Bro Banw

-in Ammanford.

-There's still time for you to enter

-and win prizes from these crackers.

-The number to call

-is 08443 35 12 44.

-Here's Lisa Victoria

-with the question again.

-Who is the angel in the Nativity?

-1) Gabriel, 2) Geraint or 3) Gladys?

-Merry Christmas everyone!

-Here's the question again.

-Who is the angel in the Nativity?

-1) Gabriel, 2) Geraint or 3) Gladys?

-Call us with your answer

-on 08443 35 12 44.

-Full terms and conditions

-can be found at www.prynhawnda.tv

-Good luck and get dialling now!

-Huw opens his fashion wardrobe

-to focus on the boys today.

-The boys don't have half

-as much attention...

-..as our girls on Prynhawn Da!

-I completely agree with you!

-Our male models are fresh out of

-college and want to make a few quid.

-Most festive parties have happened

-or you'll have chosen an outfit...

-..but some people enjoy

-a social drink after work.

-Rhodri and I never do that.

-You might move on to somewhere else

-and meet up with friends.

-Here's Ben on his way

-to work this morning.

-He looks very dapper in a simple

-blue suit teamed with a white shirt.

-Ben has joined us now.

-He's changed his look with a blue

-shirt that he carried in his bag.

-His shoes are more casual

-than his office loafers.

-We've got the same colour theme.

-They're blue suede shoes!

-I've lost track now!

-We've kept to a single palette

-to create a stylish, catwalk look.

-Simply swap your smart,

-classic work shoes.

-Pack a casual pair of shoes

-along with a blue shirt and tie.

-Those shoes certainly

-make a difference to the look.

-Ben will remove

-his suit jacket for us.

-He's swapping it for a waistcoat.

-You may have worn a waistcoat

-under your suit jacket at work.

-Leave the jacket at the office and

-head out with just the waistcoat.

-This can change the look completely.

-But removing the tie

-will make a massive difference.

-This happens

-at the end of the night.

-This is the first time for me

-to remove someone else's tie.

-We've opted for a bow-tie

-instead of tie.

-They were fashionable two years ago

-among quirky, geeky individuals.

-Towyn would always wear one

-with style and flare.

-I'll clip on the bow tie.

-Ben isn't being paid enough

-to be choked!

-A bow tie is easy to clip on.

-This waistcoat also comes

-with a handkerchief pocket.

-Let's slip off the waistcoat.

-You can also wear the blue shirt

-to work instead of the white one.

-If you've worn a waistcoat to work

-you can change it for another one.

-This makes a difference again.

-It's so easy for boys.

-All you only have to do is make

-minor amendments to your look.

-You could team it with a coat.

-It's got a lovely blue stripe.

-I've tried to stick to one tone

-of colour with these garments.

-Blue and black work great together

-if you want to create a slick look.

-You may not want to wear a jacket

-and opt for a blanket scarf.

-It's a thick, large scarf

-and ladies use them as pashminas.

-I won't do this on Ben

-so I will double it up.

-It's too small to do this

-so we'll tie it up.

-When you step out of the nightclub,

-you'll be nice and warm.

-It's an easy look to create.

-I've shown you different options

-but you only opt for one of them.

-You could take the waistcoat but

-the scarf may already be in work.

-You don't have to make big changes

-- just keep it small and simple.

-It's easy for men to do this.

-But ladies can take a dress

-and shoes in a bag.

-Men often have to change their look

-with a new jacket, shirt and tie...

-..which can be quite a bother.

-We're going to do one last change.

-You can also wear a black shirt

-instead of a blue shirt.

-Black and dark blue

-create a sophisticated look.

-Italian men

-wear a lot of dark tones.

-We tend to match grey with black

-and tan with blue.

-I've noticed that these shirts

-are a fitted style.

-This shirt is a medium size

-so the small must be very fitting.

-I wouldn't try the extra-large

-- they are figure-hugging.

-A shirt like this wouldn't suit

-someone who is my body shape.

-There are tucks in the shirt to

-create a better fit with suits.

-People with slim figures

-would wear these fitted shirts.

-Let's remove the dickie-bow.

-Open the top button of the shirt.

-Remove the tie

-and slip on a leather jacket.

-That's a smart look.

-You can pack a leather jacket

-in a bag and it won't crease too.

-Those men who carry a man-bag

-or a large case...

-..can fit everything

-I've shown you today in them.

-This is a faux leather jacket

-but you can't tell the difference.

-It's a quarter of the price

-of a real leather jacket.

-You've given us

-plenty of inspiration.

-Thank you, Huw.

-You only have a few minutes to enter

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-Call us on 08443 35 12 44.

-Get dialling now

-as today could be your lucky day.

-After the break, we're joined

-by a mother of two young children.

-She's been looking at a collection

-of children's books for Christmas.

-We also hear of a new oratorio

-about the birth of Jesus in Welsh...

-..that premieres in Llanelli

-tomorrow night.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-They claim that Christmas

-is a holiday for children.

-I think it applies to all of us but

-it's an exciting time for children.

-In today's Book Club,

-we focus on children's books.

-Let's welcome Bethan Wyn Evans.

-It's great to see you.

-You're a mother of two children

-so you know what appeals to them.

-I hope so, as I buy these genre

-of books for my little ones.

-They also make great gifts if you

-are unsure of a child's interests.

-A book makes an ideal gift.

-There's also an abundance

-of Welsh children's books.

-Yes, and the standard is excellent.

-We've got a collection of reads

-that are hot off the press.

-We start with the Christmas books

-which are always a welcomed gift.

-Storiau'r Nadolig is delightful

-for any infant child.

-A ten-month-old child can follow

-this wonderfully colourful book.

-It's also a simple read

-for when your child is literate.

-There's a trail to follow

-and doors to open on the pages.

-It involves a lot of interaction.

-It's great to read these books

-in the run up to Christmas Day.

-I've purchased a few books for my

-children to enjoy on Christmas Eve.

-Do you say Father Christmas

-or Santa Claus?

-We call him Father Christmas.

-Many people prefer Santa Claus.

-A brother and sister

-feature in Ceri Wyn Jones's story.

-They argue over who is coming to the

-house - Father Christmas or Santa.

-They wonder who will come

-and is there more than one of them.

-They find out on Christmas Morning

-who has paid a visit.

-Anni Llyn has penned

-the next Cyw book in the series.

-Things don't go to plan for Cyw

-and his friends on Christmas Eve.

-Again, it's a colourful book

-that will appeal to infants.

-We move on to older children

-with another eye-catching read.

-It's features the wonderful story

-of Miri y Dylwythen Deg.

-It's a simple read with clear words

-so it can encourage a child to read.

-Your child can also create a puppet

-of the characters at the end of it.

-This could be their reward

-for reading the entire book.

-You get your money's worth

-for a reasonable 5.99.

-Welsh children's book are just as

-good as English language books.

-Definitely, if not better.

-Mae Bwystfil yn fy Oergell

-is another favourite.

-The book in the middle is an

-adaptation with something extra.

-You read one page without realizing

-there's another page in the middle.

-It's a great story

-but it's got that added extra.

-You can see the different sections.

-Yes, the fridge door

-opens in front of you.

-There aren't many words in it, so

-it'll suit those who can't read yet.

-Children are able to spot so many

-things in a book's illustrations.

-The illustrations are exceptional.

-David Walliams is a popular

-English children's author.

-The First Hippo on the Moon

-has been translated into Welsh.

-It's a bilingual book so it's great

-for bilingual families and learners.

-The characters are brilliant

-and it's certainly made me chuckle.

-Lucy speaks English

-and I speak Welsh...

-..so David Walliams's books

-are a favourite in our house.

-My son loves reading them.

-It's about a rich hippo and poor

-hippo who want to reach the moon.

-The characters are delightful and

-the illustrations are fantastic.

-The contents and illustrations

-in these books are very appealing.

-Pedair Cainc Y Mabinogi is for older

-children and also a keep-sake book.

-This book would've come

-in handy for me at school!

-These 800-year-old tales

-have been adapted by Sian Lewis.

-There's an introduction

-for each character...

-..and a map to indicate where

-these events took place in Wales.

-It's simple to follow and a great

-introduction to the Mabinogi tales.

-For 9.99, they'll treasure it

-and refer to again in the future.

-Penillion y Plant is by T Llew Jones

-who was a poet as well as an author.

-It includes a lot of classics

-and favourites...

-..and it's a great way

-to introduce children to poetry.

-Our collection of final books

-were a favourite of mine as a child.

-They've simplified the stories now.

-Pump Prysur or The Famous Five are

-a simpler read and very colourful.

-Parents will know these stories and

-can pass them on to their children.

-They're captivating in every sense

-but T Llew's novels are fantastic.

-There's mystery and adventure

-- what more do you want?

-What a great collection of books.

-Thank you, Beth.

-Tomorrow night

-at Llanelli's Moriah Chapel...

-..pupils and friends

-of Ysgol y Strade...

-..perform a new oratorio in Welsh

-called Seren Bethlehem.

-Our cameras were present

-at the final rehearsals.

-One, two, three...

-THEY SING

-This is a brand-new repertoire

-and it's called Seren Bethlehem.

-Emlyn Dole are written the script

-and I've composed the music score.

-The entire piece

-runs for about 40 minutes.

-It focuses on the Nativity

-which is an important story to tell.

-It'll be performed

-by Lleisiau'r Strade choir.

-All the choirs are associated

-with Ysgol y Strade school...

-..along with Cor SATB

-and a children's choir.

-Guest soloists, Catrin Hughes

-and Eifion Davies...

-..will be accompanied by

-an orchestra.

-It's a combination of readings

-and short pieces of music...

-..that explain a clear message

-of the Christmas story.

-# Bright star in Heaven #

-It's great to return

-and be part of the chorus.

-You're singing with everyone

-and get to hear everyone perform.

-# Look at us roam the world #

-We've rehearsed every night

-after school for weeks.

-It'll be great on the night

-to hear the work in all its glory.

-# Bright star in Heaven! #

-It sounds fantastic

-I'm already excited

-Alison Huw joins us to tell us

-exactly what we should share.

-Welcome to the programme, Alison.

-Thank you.

-We are discussing cheese.

-At Christmas, people

-tend to eat a lot of cheese...

-..and not worry about the calories.

-There are so many cheeses available.

-Shops often have a cheese board

-of their own.

-Many of the cheeses go to waste.

-I tend to stick

-to the following guideline...

-..when it comes to serving cheese.

-I'll have one of my favourites,

-one new cheese...

-..one blue cheese

-and one goat's cheese.

-Those are the four

-that you should have.

-Hard cheese can dry out

-whilst soft cheese can get mouldy.

-It's important

-to store cheese correctly.

-Remove cheese

-from its plastic packaging...

-..and wrap it in either

-greaseproof paper or foil.

-It's important

-to remove cheese from the fridge...

-..a few hours

-before its consumption...

-..to enjoy the best flavour.

-Fridges can ruin the flavour

-of a cheese.

-I've got the Hafod hard cheese.

-There's a Caerphilly cheese.

-We've also got the Perl Las

-blue cheese.

-There's also a goat's cheese.

-Cheese boards are often served

-on a piece of wood or slate.

-People traditionally

-serve grapes with cheese...

-..but they can be too acidic.

-Opt for nuts and dried fruit

-such as dates or figs.

-Pickled walnuts

-are great with stilton.

-There's an array of breads

-and biscuits to be had.

-That's a traditional cheese board.

-What about the next one?

-I found some cheeses that I've never

-seen before.

-There's a cheese that's mixed with

-some chutney.

-I've also got a cheese that's

-wrapped in gold.

-I don't know what it tastes like!

-Fresh dates are great with cheese.

-Cheese isn't just something that

-is ideal at the end of a meal...

-..but it can be a meal in itself.

-In terms of soft cheeses...

-..the most popular

-are either brie or camembert.

-Camembert is a popular soft cheese

-in France at Christmas.

-Soft cheeses could be baked

-and served with potatoes...

-..or pieces of smoked duck

-in a fondue style.

-You can buy breads to tear

-and share...

-..and bake for yourself.

-Cheese is also great as a starter.

-The goat's cheese is wonderful

-for vegetarians.

-You can bake it and serve it

-with some nuts...

-..and some baked pears.

-It's the sweet and the sour.

-There's the camembert

-in breadcrumbs.

-It's very popular.

-It's important

-to remove cheese from the fridge...

-..a few hours

-before its consumption...

-..to enjoy the best flavour.

-That's it from us today.

-We return tomorrow with two carols

-in our Christmas Carol Competition.

-There's a programme tonight about

-our Christmas Carol Competition.

-Highlights of the Winter Fair

-follow the news and weather on S4C.

-Until tomorrow, goodbye.
