The Songs That Stole Christmas

This week on A Bit Of Culture, the team reminisce over their favorite Christmas songs, and try and unearth what exactly makes them so special. Reflecting back on the past turns into looking forward in the future, as they then attempt to predict whether Facebook will end up surviving in the near future. Lastly, Vernon compares Western Christmas pantomimes to those in Singapore and Malaysia, where barriers such as religion and taboos need to be taken into consideration.
