I was disappointed that one of the Magi didn't turn out to be an ancestor of Gyles's.

[GamesDean]

"Yes, I've just never known you to be so concise so I enjoyed it" 🤣🤣

[Casterborous]

when Giles started speaking, I was certain he was going to say "One of my forebears was at the Nativity."

[MisterItchy]

Gyles actually upstaged by someone! It's a Christmas Miracle!

A baby box. We get them for new babies in Scotland (several other countries do it too) It does as a makeshift crib (no need for using that manger then), & contains a load of stuff the baby will need: nappies & rash cream, clothing, wipes, & so on. The box is covered in drawings the child can colour in as they grow older, & will become a toy box

School nativity play. Kids dressed up as the three wise men.

First kid: “I bring you gold.”
Second kid: “I bring you myrrh.”
Third kid not knowing his exact line: “Frank sent this.”

Sandi to Gyles: “I’ve just never known you to be so concise!” 😂

Calpol seems to be a type of medication for kids. When they have a fever and a cold.
Just if anyone else was wondering, I had to Google it. 😅

'Do you know...?'
'Probably'

[seanpol]

Myrrh isn't just used for embalming. It's also used in perfumes, incense, and traditional medicine for its aromatic and antiseptic properties.

Aisling missed an opportunity to use her patented, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and all of his carpenter friends..."

[samuellawrencesbookclub]

_A truly wise person would give Calpol_

Damn, Gyles should start advertising.

[canadaclaret]

Jesus complained about two things about his time on earth. Having Christmas for a birthday was his second biggest regret, because you only get the one set of presents.
The other, of course, was the crucifixion.

[SceneArtisan]

"What would you give the baby Jesus?" A Black & Decker cordless drill!!! :D

[littleNorwegians]

"And thanks a lot for the gold and frankincense, er, but don't worry too much about the myrrh next time. All right?"

[kurtn]

Tarragon's sometimes accompanied by chervil in Bearnaise....

[rtyuik]

wow, for once Gyles adds _A_ FACT to the question, rather than his usual Ten or Twelve...and it didnt involve ANY of his forebears!

...bring back the long-winded, deep-rooted family tree of Brandreth...i actually rather miss his stories :-P

[JackVermicelli]

1:34 What is the word that sounds like "cowpole, " and why is it funny here?

[NewMessage]

I was 10 before I realized they were saying 'Frankincense' and not 'Frankenstein', and I've been less impressed with Xmas ever since.

Gold-Kingship-King of Kings, Frankincense-Deity-God the Son, Myrrh-Jesus died for our sins-Gods plan for us 🙏
