This is a story about a bunch of good, independent thinking people who decide to upend the calendar and bring Santa Claus to to the barbecue because, if God is everywhere, then Christmas can be whenever they like.
Why get the fairy lights out just once a year, in the bleak midwinter, when you could sip sangria and sizzle in the sunshine of a luxurious SUMMER CHRISTMAS!
Now, in some parts of the world this would be unremarkable, but for the residents of the Camphill Community, nestled deep in the woods at Hapstead on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in the greyest, dampest corner of England, celebrating Christmas in the Summer is a leap of wild imagination and creativity, which they bring to you now in the form of radio drama, to listen to at any time of the year and in any environment.
