Advanced English Listening: Quirky not Turkey

E116: Today, we're ditching the same old Christmas jingles for a time-travelling sleigh ride. From Darwin's wild 1833 celebrations on the HMS Beagle to Apollo 8's moonlit Merry Christmas in '68, we're going down an alternative route this festive season. But hold onto your stockings, because in Catalonia, a smiling pooping log named Tió steals the show! Join us for festive fun, unique traditions, and a dash of history. No stale turkey recipes here—just a ho-ho-whole lot of linguistic joy. Happy Christmas to you all! 🎄
