Imagine you're sitting on your sofa and you get an email from Santa...
Thrilled that a Christmas piece I wrote went out @RTESunMisc this morning @RTERadio1. Have a listen back

"There I was, stretched out on the sofa last week, minding my own business, when I got a notification on my phone from Santa. My heart skipped a beat..." next, @johnnytoal @RTERadio1

@AkaPaulHoward @RTESunMisc This is brilliant, Paul. I will never tire of hearing the Night Divine story.

@BoyleMo @paula_mcintyre All I heard, Maureen was 'your Christmas cake is stunning, JT'.
Think I checked out after that...

[John Toal @johnnytoal]

@RTESunMisc @RTERadio1 What a great story!

[John Toal @johnnytoal]

@LorraineToal @RTESunMisc @BBCRadio3 @bbcradioulster Can't let the Toals down, Lorraine!!

[John Toal @johnnytoal]

Busy day today. I've written a piece for @RTESunMisc at 9.15.
Then from 11-1 I'm presenting @BBCRadio3 "Carols across the Country" from the heart of the Mournes, and then Classical Connections @bbcradioulster 7-9pm. Three shows, three stations. Is this a record?

[John Toal @johnnytoal]

What a kick.
Go on Charlie Smyth!!
