  1. EPISODE 1

    One is for Sorrow

    One for sorrow, Two for mirth (or joy, or luck, in some versions), Three for a wedding, four for a birth, (or a death, in some versions), (Three and four are sometimes for "a girl" and "a boy," respectively.)   So many options.  The old nursery rhyme goes on:   Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret never to be told. Eight for a wish, Nine for a kiss, Ten a surprise you should be careful not to miss, Eleven for health, Twelve for wealth, Thirteen, beware. It's the devil himself.   Look for the signs.

  2. EPISODE 2

    Audio Advent Calendar Flashback

    It was November of 2016. North Hollywood's El Portal Theatre was visited by a merry cast of talented voice actors, musicians, and audience members. There was chocolate (graciously provided by the delicious El Buen Cacao) and a wintry faerie who, with an audience volunteer, would announce each date to start off the story. We recorded twenty-five short, holiday-themed stories that night and the 2016 Audio Advent Calendar was born. It was too good to hear just once, so we reissued it the following year. And now it's back again, with its cheerful silliness and heartfelt hope! We hope you enjoy it again or anew, as much as we did making it! Please visit LifeLabNotes.com for information about each date's story, its writer and performers, and the musicians who added their magic.
