Christmas Stories

After a very long time, I've uploaded some new audio.
"A Visit From St. Nicholas" by Clement Clark Moore, usually referred to as "The Night Before Christmas". I read it from my copy of Side by Side, Poems to Read Together, which I've had since I was a little girl and which has wonderful illustrations to go with the text. It's a very fun poem, and responsible for a lot of our current notions of who Santa Claus is, including the names of his reindeer.
I also recorded the Nativity story from the Gospel of Luke. I was going to do Chapter 1 as well, but I think it was too long, but the first chapter has some great stuff in it. Most churches read a combination story from both Luke and Matthew at Christmas. I used the King James Version because it's the prettiest.

In technical news, I now have a Logitech headset for use in recording, which is nice.
