    A Child's Midwestern Christmas

    About this audiobook

    In the run-up to Christmas, the point of the game has always been to find the parents' stash of not-yet-wrapped Christmas presents. But what a let-down it is if you actually find them! In these stories you experience Christmas in a rural Midwest town in the 1940s and 1950s. Six rowdy children approach The Day with a mixture of rampant greed, enforced piety, and a hunger for family traditions even as they are being created.

      Oct 18, 2023

      During Christmases of the 1950s and 1960s, Northern Irish children knew nothing of present mountains. What we did know about was dancing and skipping for weeks in anticipation of the one present we knew we would get. This surprise sat tantalisingly b

      I’m playing “Jingle Bells” on the piano and the bauble-laden tree is sparkling over my shoulder. The smell of roasting turkey fills the house and I can see filled Christmas stockings waiting to be plundered. Ah, cue Noddy Holder: “It’s Christmaaaaa…”
