Good evening, I hope you're tired, but not too tired, and ready to enjoy (at least part) of this Lucy Maud Montgomery short story.

Lucy Maud Montgomery's short story "The Life-Book of Uncle Jesse" is about a delightful summer spent with a wise, adventurous old sailor named Uncle Jesse, who shares his seafaring tales and simple wisdom with the narrator and her mother.

Just like that, this is the final bedtime story of 2025. What a year it's been. I appreciate you for making Dozing Off a part of your bedtime routine. To set up the New Year right, join me as we follow, The Boy Who Borrowed a Perfect Year.

Sleep well, see you next year.

Tonight will be the third and final Christmas story of the year. I appreciate each one of you for being part of the Dozing Off community, and to those that celebrate - Merry Christmas!

The best time of year, but also, can be the most stressful - especially for Santa.

Tonight, we fall asleep to the story of the year When Santa Almost Gave Up on Christmas.

Tonight, I'll make my first attempt to get you in the Christmas spirit. We'll start small and just begin with the idea of gift giving :)

Enjoy this short story, and sleep well!

Tonight, in honor of the time of year it is and because I discovered Lucy Maud Montgomery this year, let's fall asleep to her short story, Uncle Richard's New Year Dinner.

Good evening! Tonight, you're going to close your eyes while I watch the raindrops hitting and falling on the window. I'll count them and describe each one as I see it.

Dylan Thomas’s A Child’s Christmas in Wales is a cozy, musical recollection of childhood holidays—told with the kind of wonder only a child can hold and only an adult can remember.

Never too soon for a Christmas story.
