Heartwarming Christmas Stories for Sleep...

JOANNE D'AMICO
About this episode

Welcome back my friend! Tonight we will drift off to a couple of "feel good" Christmas stories! The first story is called "Paulina's Christmas" and the second is "The Star". Both stories have similar themes about two sweet little girls, Paulina and Ruth, who show kindness to a stranger and then both receive an unexpected surprise at the end of the story. I hope you enjoy these heartwarming tales that inspire hope, faith and love this Holiday Season. 

As always, the storytelling begins with a short relaxation to help you settle in before the story begins.  At the end of the narration, the music will continue for a little while to help you drift off peacefully without waking up.  

So let's get snuggly under the covers and sweet dreams!
