Reviews
Just lovely. Listened as I was wrapping presents this Christmas weekend. And it gently reminded me of the true gifts and joys that are the true meaning of Christmas. God bless the readers! Happy Christmas, everyone!

A wonderful, loving, & heartwarming story! It's not very religious so everyone can enjoy it. It gets sad at the end but you're still left feeling good. Everyone should hear this no matter the age.
Beautifully read and charmingly sung. A touching story of love and enjoyments in different households.
