    A Christmas Dream and How It Came True - A Sleepy Christmas Tale

    Tonight’s premium episode is a special rebroadcast from 2022, featuring a tender and touching Christmas tale by Louisa May Alcott: A Christmas Dream and How It Came True. This gentle story follows a young girl named Effie, who, much like Scrooge, is swept into a dream that softens her heart and opens her eyes to the true meaning of Christmas. Guided by a Christmas spirit, Effie’s journey leads her toward kindness, generosity, and a deeper understanding of what truly matters. Alcott brings her own warmth and charm to this familiar theme, offering a comforting reminder of the joy found in giving — and the magic that unfolds when compassion becomes our guide. As you settle in for the night, allow this soft and nostalgic Christmas tale to wrap around you like a blanket. Let the glow of holiday lights, the hush of winter, and the gentle music help you drift into peaceful rest. Wishing you a very happy holiday season — may your days be filled with comfort, tenderness, and moments that touch the heart. The music in this episode is “Fire Light” by The Golden Peas, courtesy of Epidemic Sound. Sweet dreams, Joanne
