Over the last several years, I have produced a handful of short audio projects with Christmas themes. I thought it would be a good idea to list them all in a single place this year. If you're looking for something to listen to while wrapping that last-minute gift or waiting on that batch of cookies, here are some great options. I will update this post in the future with any new Christmas-related projects.
My Short-form Christmas Projects in Chronological Order
"Christmas Bells" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Verses In Vox*
(dramatic poetry narration with sound effects and music)
Written on Christmas Day in 1863 during the heat of the Civil War by American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Christmas Bells" is perhaps more well-known in the form of the Christmas carol "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day."
*I directed and produced this project, but you will not hear my voice in this one.
“Christmas At Sea” by Robert Louis Stevenson - Verses In Vox
(dramatic poetry narration with sound effects and music)
First published in a periodical just a few days before Christmas in 1888, "Christmas at Sea" is a vivid narrative poem that pulls the reader into the scenes. The stark contrast between the warm, domestic scene and the freezing weather onboard the ship is very poignant.
"Portraits and Poinsettias" - Greenhorn Tales
(micro audio drama)
Cameron and Nicholas are at the Bristol Shopping Centre to take care of some last-minute Christmas shopping. But nothing ever goes smoothly for these two and the somewhat wacky folks they encounter at the mall don't help matters at all. Will their Christmas celebrations be ruined?
"A Christmas Legend" by Florence Scannell
(enhanced audiobook of short story)
A poor tradesman makes a caring gesture on a cold Christmas Eve that changes his life forever.
"Just Another Day" - One Day in Aspen Creek
(micro audio drama)
Kate is having a tough time getting into the Christmas spirit this year, so Tom decides to do what he can to cheer her up.
