Across the UK, across continental North America and around the world on the internet by webcast,

and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is the unexplained.

Thank you for being part of this while it's nearly Christmas isn't it? I have to say

this year. I feel less Christmassy than I think I ever have in my life. When I was a

little kid we used to have wonderful Christmases. My mum and dad used to work. I mean, you know,

I feel really guilty about it. Now these two work so hard making it all perfect. They

be buying the presents and wrapping, wrapping, wrapping and they would make sure that they

were well hidden because I couldn't be finding them before the great day and my mother and

father would work really hard on the turkey and they would make soup from the remains

of the turkey. Afterwards, they were wonderful times and I have to say that I've really

known nothing like that in recent years but this year in particular would lock down

and all the other rubbish. I think I'm going to be taking some persuading to get into

the Christmas spirit. But who knows? Maybe I will. I'm doing a couple of radio shows

over Christmas as far as I know. One of them is on Christmas Eve. If you can join me

then I would love to talk with you. This is on top radio so I'm doing that one. Christmas

Eve late 10 to 1 and also boxing night 26th 10 to 1 and having a break on Christmas day

and then the unexplained is back on the 27th, isn't it? The Sunday. So you know, it's

going to be a bit of a work in Christmas one way and another. And I hope that you have

peace and joy and I hope that your Christmas shopping is not too fraught. Mad, mad world

this is. Now, thank you very much to Adam. My web master here is hard work. Thank you

to Haley as ever for booking the guest. Thank you to you for being part of this. If you've

made a donation to the unexplained online recently, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much
