麻豆约拍

Cathy Macdonald and Tony Kearney celebrate Christmas morning by exploring the theme of '麻豆约拍 For Christmas'.

Rev Philip Blackledge of Holy Trinity Church in Melrose and writer Louise Welsh explore what home means, especially if you travelled around a lot as a child and how people and possessions give you a sense of home when a place does not.

Cathy and Tony meet Hanna Tekliuk a Ukrainian mother who is spending this Christmas morning with her two children apart from her husband and eldest child who remain back in their homeland. Hanna discusses the challenges of being so far away from loved ones and what constitutes Christmas traditions in Ukraine.

What happens when you live in a family with very different cultural traditions? Oliver Escobar is from Spain and his wife is Polish, while Oskar Gilchrist-Grodnicki is from south west Poland and he鈥檚 married to a Scot. They explain how they meld their very specific national traditions together.

And there are wonderful recollections of Christmas childhoods from Shetland poet Christine De Luca and the Hebridean baker Coinneach MacLeod, plus some great seasonal tunes.
