Read me a story, please?

[beachbaby179]

This is an idea that bubbled up in the "Let's Hear Your Voice" thread earlier today. Read us a story. Record yourself reading it and post it here. I'll post themes to get you started, or you can derail it and read something completely different.

So........... Since the holidays are upon us, let's start with Christmas stories. The whole thing, or just part of one. But please, if you're only going to read part of the story, leave a link to the whole thing so we can go out and find out how it ends.

Looking forward to hearing you all!

In the spirit of Christmas

Though not a Christmas poem it’s in the spirit of the season https://www.***********/s/i4qopoxzaxa8137/Abou ben Adam.mp3?dl=0

What a nice surprise to wake up to! Thank you for your contributions! Bringing earbuds to work now, clearly.

I'm so in for this...once I get a few minutes to record.

 

[TheMrBurns]

I don't know why the Gift of the Magi always gets to me, it's kind of a silly almost comical story, but fuck it's hard to record when you're choking up and you can't read because you're eyes are watering... Damn allergies!

The joy of getting in on this early, no one has done ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas yet

It’s my favorite Christmas story

That was lovely and the background music was a beautiful touch, you're raising the bar

Does anyone remember the animated Christmas special with the mice and the clock?

That was totally wonderful, JAF !

once recorded it may be an idea to download it for yourself for the future then if it expires you can upload it again

I managed a recording last night then realized it had already been done by another litster. I'll have to find a different piece to do.

It's Christmas, Charlie Brown! (Obnoxious page turns..)

I like the page turns, made me think of reading to my kids when they were still little

I love E. E. Cummings poems so this was lovely to find. I was going to do something by Hans Christian Anderson but there's just too much death

Bonus, I wish I was as good a storyteller as the late Stuart McLean. This is a must listen in my house every Christmas.

I didn't understand most of those terms but it was so fun to hear! I have a Texas version I should pull out...

I knew the terms would go over many heads, but it was fun to do! There is an Aussie Jingle Bells, which is even better, but no one needs to hear me singing, haha
