Kitty Reads Holiday Lit for Peace: Louisa May Alcott – A Christmas Dream, and How It Came True plus The Next Peacelands

This episode features a gentle excerpt from Louisa May Alcott’s short holiday story A Christmas Dream, and How It Came True, a reflective tale about a child who learns that the real richness of Christmas comes from generosity, attention, and shared joy. Kitty reads just enough to let Alcott’s calm moral clarity come through.

Kitty O’Compost continues warming up for The Peace Experiments (Season Zero), the forthcoming Peace Is Here series exploring peace, AI, and the cultural commons.

For this holiday edition of The Next Peacelands, Avis Kalfsbeek shifts focus away from warzones and arms suppliers to reflect on the quieter, relational work of peace—care, generosity, and the everyday choices that shape a humane world.
