    Welcome, friends! My name is Nicola and I'm so happy that you've come to celebrate with me! In this podcast, each day until Christmas, we will read a new, classic holiday story together. Each one has a message of hope, kindness, and generosity, which I hope will encourage you this season. If you enjoy them, you might also want to check out my video series, Countdown 'til Christmas, which is available for free through my website, www.AshleyWagnerArts.com/Christmas and on Youtube at my Ashley Wagner Arts channel. In addition to the daily stories shared on this podcast, we also decorate, learn about holiday traditions from around the world, and sing! If you'd like to follow along or read our stories on your own, you can find them, and all of the illustrations, collected in my book, Treasury of Ten-Minute Christmas Tales. That's available through my website - and you can receive a free story when you sign up for my email list! Thank you for joining me! Wishing you a joyful season and a happy day! I'll see you tomorrow for our first story! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ashleywagnerarts/message
