Happy holidays, dear friends, and welcome back. I’m so glad you’re here with me tonight. Our bedtime story is a beautiful and touching tale called Why the Chimes Rang by Raymond MacDonald Alden. It’s a heartfelt Christmas story about two brothers who make a simple journey to the great cathedral on Christmas Eve. This gentle tale reminds us how quiet acts of kindness reveal the true spirit of giving.

As this year comes to a close, I just want to say how grateful I am for each and every one of you. Thank you for inviting my stories and my voice into your evenings, for your kindness, and for the beautiful community we've created together.

My hope is that this season brings you moments of calm, comfort, and quiet joy… even in the midst of everything life may be asking of you. May you find rest when you need it, warmth when you seek it, and a little magic in the small, gentle moments.

From my heart to yours—happy holidays, and may the nights ahead be peaceful and full of sweet dreams.

Tonight’s episode brings you a tender Christmas tale filled with simplicity, warmth, and the quiet magic of the season. Little Gretchen and the Wooden Shoe, written by Elizabeth Harrison, invites us into the humble world of a young girl and her grandmother who greet each Christmas with hope, gratitude, and love — even when they have very little. This heartwarming tale is a reminder of the quiet blessings that find their way to us when we least expect them.

Wishing each of you a peaceful, heartfelt holiday season — may it be filled with comfort, kindness, and gentle moments of joy.

So get cozy, snuggle in, and let this gentle Christmas story carry you toward peaceful rest.

Sweet dreams,
Joanne
