A Holiday Special
Episode 7
Thursday, 22 December, 2022
Happy Holidays from Maevyn's Athenaeum ! So many cultures celebrate a form of Christmas & many have folklore that exists before modern day Christianity. I collected four stories from various cultures to read to you as a holiday gift. When I was younger my sister and I would wake up energized and excited for the Christmas morning that was to come. We had to wait until the adults were fully awake, but could not go back to sleep ourselves. So we invented a little Christmas tradition of reading to each other from our book case, which at the time, was filled with children's stories. This is sort of the same, but instead I chose stories that may not be suitable for children's. In this episode I read to you: The Yule Cat Poem The Little Match girl The story of La Bafana and The Snow Maiden accompanied by the time lapse drawing of my holiday card for my patrons. This is a Bonus Episode, not the regularly scheduled episode for the month! Come back on the 1st for the review of The Dreamer and The Marked by Airic Fenn.
