Hello and welcome back to Kuala Moon, a podcast of original children's bedtime stories and

meditations designed to make bedtime a dream.

We're still in the Christmas story groove and tonight I've got a super sweet tale that takes place on a snowy Christmas Eve.

A young mouse called Chestnut is awoken from her slumber by a peculiar noise outside.

With her mother at her side, Chestnut investigates the

sound, and they are amazed to find a very special mouse standing in the snow. It's Father Chris

Mouse, and he needs their help. Chestnut and her mother agreed to help him and swing into action. Before long, they're going on a magical

journey through the starry skies together on an adventure they will never forget. Before we begin,

the time-travelling antics of potato and beans in the

Wild Wild West, I've got a great new podcast for you. It's called Mysteries About True

Histories, and it follows best friends Max and Molly on thrilling time-travelling quests. Using their

maths and logic skills, they must outsmart pesky trolls and prevent chaos

across space and time. It's full of adventure, clever puzzles and plenty of fun. Can they crack the

code before time runs out? Join in on the fun every Thursday to find out. Follow mysteries about true histories on Apple Podcasts or wherever you find your podcasts.

Settle down and fill your minds with visions of snowflakes, glowing warm fireplaces, gift-stuffed stockings, and a wonderfully golden ornate sleigh.
