Season's greetings from a special Christmas edition of 5 live Science with Dr. Chris Smith recorded at the Naked Scientists' Christmas Party. Join us as we explore the Science of Christmas. We'll be looking at why crackers are (or aren't) all that funny; the chemistry of Christmas; what makes the ultimate roast dinner; as well as whether wine really is the best medicine. Music comes from The Templar Scholars who'll be taking part in an experiment exploring the science of singing and giving their rendition of the 12 Scientific Days of Christmas.
