LibriVox recording of Christmas, A Story, by Zona Gale. Read by Christine Dufour.
This is a gentle Christmas story, whose message is that if we didn't already have Christmas, we'd find a way to invent it. It's hard times in Old Trail Town as the Season of Giving approaches. The factory that employs most of the town is closed and not likely to re-open, and town merchants fear that people will try to shop on credit. Unwilling to carry the debt, the merchants work out a scheme to get everybody in town to agree not to have Christmas that year. What happens next proves that Christmas can't be banned from the hearts of those who truly believe in it. (Summary by Christine Dufour)

Definitely a winner! This story was fitting this year, where a lot of people weren't able to have their traditional Christmas due to the pandemic. Lovely reading.

This was an accident. I searched "Christmas" in audio and ended up listening to this little jewel. Give yourself a gift this holiday season and listen to this exquisitely penned story and beautifully read too.
