The Annabel Portcast

All week Annabel has been attempting to make people happy at Christmas by making other people happy. That might not make sense when you read it though, but if you listen to this you'll understand. She also reads letters from her All Star Postbag, with correspondence from Nigel Farage, Queen, and Pope.

Annabel has spent the week trying to live by the advice of the Archbishop of Canterbury; to make Christmas less commercial and to instead spend her time helping others as a gift. Find out how she got on with that, and how Geoff feels about her early Christmas gift to him.

Annabel continues her assignment to spend less money on presents for people this Christmas and instead make the festive season better by doing good deeds for others, so far with mixed results...

Annabel starts her assignment to stop giving conventional gifts to those she loves, and instead make them feel happy vicariously, through her good deeds. However, it seems there may be a flaw in this plan, as nobody involved seems that happy.

Today being Monday, Annabel is set a new assignment, and she's going to be trying out an idea put forward by the Archbishop of Canterbury - to give people presents of emotional rather than monetary value. She also reads letters from Nigel Farage, Prince William, and Barack Obama.
