We're wrapping up this year on the Podgoblin's Hat with Tove's Christmas offering: The Fir Tree.
It's got everything you want from a Christmas story: the light and the dark, the fear and the wonder. There's even a little cameo from the Moomin family gun.
We chat about different translations of this story, we exchange presents and talk at length about egg nog.
Our Spirits of the Moomins this Week are The Father Christmas Letters by JRR Tolkien, the Muppets Christmas Carol, and Christmas Days by Jeanette Winterson. Our Spirits of the Podgoblin's Hat is The Last Christmas, the final episode of Dave's other podcast Getting Better Acquainted.
