Would you listen to The Christmas Chronicles again? Why?

It's a little different from the traditional American Santa Clause stories. I really enjoyed the premise and the execution. It maintained a Christian connection without being evangelical. I think from now, every year when I'm decorating the outside of the house and buying for kids Christmas present charities, I'll be listening to the story. It will remind me of the rules regarding gift receiving once you've given gifts under Santa's name.

I accidentally purchased this on audible last year by clicking on the wrong thing while multitasking. For whatever reason, I was meant to read this wonderful, wonderful story. This year I purchased several copies used online to share with others because it lightened my heart and was so entertaining. So, settle in (with peppermint hot chocolate) & give it a listen. I am so thankful to the author for our new Christmas tradition. This year we listened with our boys in the car as part of holiday trips. Be of good cheer!

The best Christmas surprise ever

I’ve listened to this story every year since it came out. The year it was released a radio station in our state performed it in four short broadcasts and I fell in love with it. It’s my favorite Christmas story.

A must listen every year!

Would you listen to The Christmas Chronicles again? Why?

A very captivating story. Couldn't stop listening. Had to listen to the whole thing as I drove home from my daughter's after Christmas. Because I heard a few episodes on Utah Public Radio before Christmas, I bought Cd's for all four of my children and their families. They liked it, too. This is a first-rate story and first-rate recording. Love the voice of the narrator.

Great story and recording
