When Santa stole Christmas ...... all this week on the wireless

So given the time of year, Radio 4 just had to put together a compilation of Santa/Christmas "bits" drawn from the archives, and what a  wonderful collection it is. 



The programme explores the historical roots of the chap, what it owes to US popular culture and consumerism and falls back on Christmas films and songs.  Now that makes it worth a listen

Picture; when Santa arrived in Manchester, 2022, from the collection of Andrew Simpson
