MEMORY TAPES: 14TH DECEMBER 2012

This week's festive Memory Taper is Ruth Bond, who writes...

"Last year, my Christmas obsessed, heaven-sent, festive angel of a friend Ross, compiled me a Christmas song advent calendar.

"Every morning throughout the month of December my inbox was stuffed with an MP3 and a Christmas picture. It's definitely the best Christmas present I ever had."
