About this listen

 Welcome, friends! I’m so happy that you’ve come to celebrate with me! In this podcast, each day until Christmas, we will read a new, classic holiday story together. Each one has a message of hope, kindness, and generosity, which I hope will encourage you this season. Stories are read in a soothing, sleep-friendly, ASMR-like style, with sounds of a cozy fire in the background. Season 2 (2022) is designed as a video series and also includes traditions from around the world and Christmas songs!

    I wanted to provide something special for everyone, however you may celebrate this holiday.
