With the holiday season in full swing, GamerDude wanted to take a few minutes to share a story that was written by Phillip Van Doren Stern back in 1943. The story, called The Greatest Gift, had humble beginnings - the author is reported to have come up with the idea while shaving one morning - but it may sound quite familiar to you as you listen. No spoilers, but this simple story slowly grew into a cultural phenomenon, without ever losing its heartfelt message. The message is a simple one that we should remember every day, and particularly at the time of year when some of us need to hear it the most: the greatest gift we have is life, and being a part of the world, and having the opportunity to take part in it.
Happy Holidays, and thank you for listening, and supporting this podcast for two years!
Season Three of Storytime with GamerDude starts January 1, 2020!
