The Three Wise Men of Manx Radio - Bernie Quayle, David Callister and Terry Cringle sit down round the table to share Christmas memories from their respective childhoods.
Mother and Daughter Mary Radcliffe and Claire Quayle reflect on life on a poultry farm - for Mary, raising geese and turkeys, and preparing them for the table at Christmas, was very hard work - but for daughter Claire, the preparation of the turkeys was a time of great excitement and a sign that Christmas wasn't far away.
There's poetry by Kathleen Faragher read by Jack and Pat Corrin, and music from the Aeg Threshlyn Children's Choir, founded by Mrs Eleanor Shimmin and directed by her for over 25 years.
And David Callister interviews John Kennaugh on his farm, to find out how he plans to celebrate Christmas - a day of rest for farmers? or business as usual ?
