There’s not much sign of snow in Southwark, where Audioboo HQ is based, so it’s doubtful that 2011 bring a white Christmas. That doesn’t mean we can’t get into the festive spirit, and we’ve been helped along by lots of members of the Audioboo family, sharing their Christmassy audio with us.

We’d love you to share your festive fun with us – don’t forget to tag your audio with “Christmas” so we can feel part of your celebrations. I learnt last year that the US misses out on the joy of Christmas crackers – so perhaps you could record the cracker pulling experience – complete with Auntie Dot reading out the jokes! (Don’t forget to tag them with “#Cracker”)
