Hey, it's Brian. Back for the fourth and final installment of this Burmunt's bonus special

Storytime miniseries, where Ricky Meese from the sleigh bells and mistletoe Christmas podcast

narrates the 1916 story when the Yule Log burns by Leona Dalrymple. If you're listening in

real time, this miniseries is being released on four consecutive days

starting on Thursday, December 12th, and you really do need to listen from the beginning to follow

along. And also, you really do need to subscribe to sleigh bells and mistletoe for more Christmas

fun for this season and beyond. In this final installment, we pick up from yesterday when it was Christmas Eve.

It's now Christmas Day, and we follow all the goings-on at the home of John and Ellen,

from dawn to dusk.

Before we get to it, I'd like to thank Ricky Meese once again for lending her talent, her

lovely voice, and her Christmas spirit to all of us

in the Christmas past family. I have a feeling I'll be returning to this story year after year

to get into the Christmas spirit, and maybe you will too. The next time we meet again, we'll be back

to business as usual, exploring the backstories to favorite Christmas traditions and sharing

your Christmas memories. But until then, let's pay one more visit to that Christmas in the

country at the home of John and Mary. So get cozy and comfy and get into the Christmas spirit

as we once again go back to 1916 for an old-fashioned country Christmas.

Here now is Ricky Meesewood the fourth and final installment of As the Ullog Burns by Leona Dalrymple.
