Welcome to Raven's Readings. Since its Christmas Eve, I'll take a break from doing Sunshine Sketches and read a couple of Christmas stories to you.
I do readings twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, so this story should take about six weeks. If you subscribe to my substack newsletter, you'll get notified of my updates as soon as they are ready. If you enjoy this reading, or have other classics you'd like to hear, leave me a comment.
Remember that you can manage here which sections from my SubStack you'll get emails for - Fiction, Odds and ends, Podcastings, or all.
And finally, here’s a link to my readings last year of A Christmas Carol, by Dickens.
Our first story is from Russia. from a collection compiled in 1916 by Phebe A. Curtiss. Our second one will be more familiar to you, written in 1905 by William Sydney Porter. Better known as O. Henry.
Enjoy these stories - sit back, relax, and close your eyes. Unless you're driving.
