Episode 3 - December, Creations and Celebrations Panacea

What are your ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future? How do feelings of nostalgia, cherished traditions, and thoughts of the future come together to create the perfect holiday season? 

Join Sarah and Owen as they search for some answers to these questions on Panacea's Christmas episode. Cuddle up as they take you to Crook Hall to discover the Christmas secrets of the manor and gardens. Look to Christmas future as they travel to Newcastle to learn how to bring sustainability to all of our celebrations. And listen in to two academics (and friends) chat about the diversity with which the world approaches the holiday season.
