0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the story time for grown-ups' Christmas Spectacular. I'm Faith Moore,
0:07.6	and for the month of December, we'll be reading A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Each
0:13.3	episode, I'll read one chapter from the book, pausing from time to time to give brief explanations,
0:19.0	so it's easier to follow along. It's like an audiobook with
0:22.7	built-in notes. So brew a pot of tea or a mug of hot chocolate, find a cozy chair, throw another log on the fire,
0:30.4	and settle in. It's story time. Oh my goodness, this is it.
0:44.3	Oh my goodness, this is it. The last stave, the last chapter of a Christmas Carol. I really feel like

2:02.7	which will take us all the way through till summertime. So please make sure that you're
2:07.3	subscribed. That way you'll just get that trailer right in your podcast feed and you won't have
2:11.9	to go looking for it. So that will drop. And then we will have one more episode on Monday, the 23rd of December, and that
2:20.5	will be our wrap-up episode.
