Christmas Short Works Collection 2022


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

The 2022 Christmas collection brings some old favourites along with some new selections, from the traditional to the bizarre. Among the selections, there's a man who revels in having been born on Christmas, and a man who believes he'll die on Christmas; wild animals who set up their own Christmas tree, and a wild town that's tamed for one Christmas celebration; the faith of two small children's prayers, and faith in the existence of Santa Claus affirmed. Enjoy! (Summary by TriciaG)

"My Uncle Peter" is taken from two texts. Part 1 is listed below; Part 2 is HERE. (7 hr 29 min)
