A programme for children at home.

This is Play School's Christmas week. The Picture Book on Monday comes from Norway and is called 'The Town that Forgot it was Christmas'. But Play School has not forgotten. During the rest of the week Ronald Eyre will be telling again the story of the First Christmas; and on Friday Julie Stevens and Eric Thompson light the last of the candles on the Christmas-is-coming ring. And they wish you a merry Christmas from everyone in Play School.
