A Christmas Eve Tradition

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

My dad used to read ‘‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” every Christmas Eve when I was a kid, after dinner and before we opened our Christmas pjs. 

 

So many of you are missing your dads, or grandparents, or the father of your kids. This year, I asked my dad to record the Christmas Eve classic for the show. I wanted you to have a stand-in grandpa, in case you were missing one of your own. 

 

From my family to yours, may you have the best holiday season available to you. 

 

(‘Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore was first published in 1823)
