Hello and welcome back to Kuala Moon, your podcast of original children's bedtime stories and meditations, designed to make bedtime a dream.

Welcome and happy birthday to Ember for tomorrow.

Also, thanks for subscribing to Quentin Giribandi from Hastings, UK,

and Harper from Melbourne.

You've got a sack full of stories to enjoy over the Christmas period and beyond.

Our cozy Christmas story tonight stars everyone's favorite little panda. Yep, it's Kira,

and she's taking the day to wander around and experience the sounds, smells and sights of the

sleepy forest Christmas market.

As you probably know, buying gifts for friends and family is fun, but hard too.

So many decisions to make and foody temptations to resist.

Or not, but she's been saving up her pocket money for weeks,

and she's determined to find just the right thing for him.

Before we begin, a quick message for the grown-ups.

quick word from our sponsors. If you loved the time-travelling antics of potato and beans in the

Wild Wild West, I've got a great new podcast for

you. It's called Mysteries About True Histories, and it follows best friends Max and Molly on

thrilling time-travelling quests. Using their maths and logic skills, they must outsmart pesky

trolls and prevent chaos across space and time.

It's full of adventure, clever puzzles and plenty of fun. Can they crack the code before time runs out?
