Anne Marie McAleese with the people, places and stories that make NI unique, including the Cookstown nativity, Cullybackey in bloom and a new eco garden near Kilrea.

Anne Marie McAleese with the people, places and stories that make Northern Ireland unique, including why over 200 Santas on horseback will be having a festive ride through the village of Saintfield this weekend.

Also on the show, last week we spoke about award-winning Ahoghill - this year's champions in the National Britain in Bloom Competition. But they weren't the only ones to bring home medals. Their neighbours, just a few miles away in Cullybackey, also did very well - winning gold in the large village category.

And it wouldn't be Christmas without donkeys, and there is a donkey sanctuary in Co Antrim near Templepatrick - where 23 very happy donkeys live, thanks to the good work of the volunteers there. The centre co-ordinator, Lorraine Nelson, gave Anne Marie the grand tour, ahead of their annual Christmas fair.
