The weather. Tomorrow, expect a... Biting cold front. Mmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise, slowly but surely, reaching their peak in the afternoon.

Not in the mood for miserable weather?

Dot Gratetectives.net. After taking a break last year to bring you the big missing,

we're returning to one of the great old-time radio Christmas classics, The Big Little Jesus.

I will say in the interest of full disclosure that

the commentary you'll hear after the episode is mostly the exact same thing I said years ago. I love

this story. I don't think that I can keep raising the bar or finding new things to say about.

Now, of course, I listened to it because it's Christmas and it's the big little Jesus,

but I think that for the most part, I said everything I wanted to say back in

2003, but there is one small bet that is new. But now, let's go

ahead and listen to this episode from December 22, 1953.

Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to hear is true.
