Christmas Short Works Collection 2010

A intimate gathering of Christmas voices from another era. This collection gathers short stories, poems, essays and scripture passages in English, German and Portuguese, each read by a different volunteer voice. The result feels like sitting by a fire while strangers take turns sharing their favorite holiday words. Some readings are polished, others have the charming roughness of genuine enthusiasm. The multilingual mix, far from being a barrier, becomes part of the collection's magic: hearing the Luke's Nativity account in German or a Portuguese poem creates unexpected moments of beauty. These are brief pieces, many only minutes long, perfect for dipping into on a winter evening or playing as background while wrapping presents. Not every recording is flawless, but authenticity has its own value here.
