Matt Ogden Tribute Santa Special, Black Peter and loosing an elf.

Matt who had become part of my seasonal festivities died recently and as a tribute for the next two episodes I will be rerunning our previous frivolities.  Santa Special It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn to things festive, to the sharing of love, the sharing of joy, of light and happiness. But this doesn’t happen without a bit of effort from all of us. Not least the jolliest of the jolly. In a world exclusive, I manage to track down and grab a few minutes of very precious time to talk with the big guy himself during a quick coffee break. I learn a little about what it really takes to make the festive season happen, how long it’s actually been happening, and in this social-media-driven world, what hashtag Santa thinks best describes the true nature of the season.
