#1 A Surprise for Mary

In fact there are three surprises! Because Christmas is full of surprises, right? No surprise there. Anyway, Jam is surprised by some geese and has a very surprising story about a girl called Laura and another girl called Laura. And we’re with Mary who is surprised by an angel with some amazing news. Plus a sketch about Mary’s surprise baby shower – and music from Michael J Tinker. Christmas is well and truly on the way!

#2 A Surprise in the Manger

More Christmas surprises as Ed reveals he used to live near a palace that would cost $2 billion dollars to build. Jam thought he drove a tractor as a child (he didn’t) and the Emperor thought he was in charge, but actually a baby was. That baby was Jesus.

#3 A Surprise for the Shepherds

The Table is set! It’s so very nearly Christmas! And it’s been full of surprises. Ed fixed an oven, Jam fixed a vacuum cleaner but the really big surprise is that the good news about Jesus was announced to scruffy shepherds by scary angels. Fun facts about what animals eat, and why Ed and Jam need to hibernate in January. Plus a sketch about a Shepherd race and music from Michael J Tinker, funky angels from his festive album, The King Has Arrived. Oh, and check the oven!
