This festive episode of Breaking Waves celebrates Christmas in all its warmth, weirdness and wonder. From Dutch carols and Feliz Navidad to French holiday classics, the show mixes music, memory and plenty of good humour.

Shai joined is joined by his wonderful mum Arahni, to chat about the origins of Christmas, the Dutch roots of Santa Claus and how different cultures celebrate the season — while sharing personal stories about family, disability, travel, community radio and Christmases spent around the world.

There are laughs, heartfelt moments and a gentle reminder that Christmas is really about connection, kindness and spending time together — however and wherever you celebrate.

A joyful, inclusive Christmas broadcast from Eastside Radio 89.7FM — Breaking Waves style. 🎄
