This episode, we take a moment to reflect on the origins of some of the words we often use and hear during this festive period. If you’re looking for a way to get your history and language fix all in one go, then stick around. We’ll look at how some words such as 'Christmas' and 'Yuletide' first entered our vocabulary - as well as exploring other words associated with Christmas, that of food and drink, and in songs.

Join Hazel Baker as she talks with Danny Bate about Christmas words.
So pull up a chair by the fire, pour yourself a cup of hot chocolate, and join us as we explore.
