Edi Stark's guests bring along recommendations based on their own festive traditions.

Edi Stark's guests bring along recommendations based on their own festive traditions, including a Christmassy album, a classic film and a trip to the theatre.

Today Edi's guests discuss their own personal festive traditions.

Businesswoman Susie Fraser is Head of Media for Scottish Women's Football, and was formerly an actor. Her love of panto and performance began as a child, and is still a Christmas Eve tradition for her and her family each year.

Gary Sutherland is a travel writer who journeyed all over Scotland to watch local traditions and rituals. His own annual routine is listening to American songwriter Sufjan Stevens' many Christmas CDs.

And broadcaster Jill Barkley explains why for her, Dirty Dancing, in spite of being a film set at the height of summer, is always a Christmas treat.

Plus Edi, her daughter and granddaughter look out for some treasured Christmas decorations, and today's archive pick tells the story of a much-loved Christmas song.
