Ross and Catherine (Christmas special): Seasonal rituals, pets and favourite festive tunes.

Settle yourself down with a mince pie and a mug of mulled wine because we have got a couple of University of Edinburgh folk together for a festive treat. In this seasonal special of Sharing things, Ross Nixon and Catherine Rayner talk all things Christmas, pets and favourite festive tunes.

Each episode of Sharing things is a conversation between two members of our university community. It could be a student, a member of staff or a graduate, the only thing they have in common at the beginning is Edinburgh. We start with an object. A special, treasured or significant item that we have asked each guest to bring to the conversation. What happens next is sometimes funny, sometimes moving and always unexpected.
