Happy Christmas all! To celebrate this year’s Christmas festivities I would like to present a narration by Bing Crosby of a moving Christmas story called The Small One like I did last year and will continue doing on the 25th. I loved listening to this as a child around Christmas time. It was on the same LP (image above) as Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince which I posted about in May 2 years ago.
According to wikipedia: The Small One is a Charles Tazewell story with musical accompaniment from Victor Young and His Orchestra. Charles Tazewell was a radio playwright and children’s book author, whose work has been adapted multiple times for film…..
I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so supportive of my blog. I feel owing in gratitude to have conversed with you along the way because it has made this venture all the more satisfying. I wish you and all your families a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
One of my all-time favourites.
Same here Bruce and to follow it up I was reading the beginning of Matthew’s gospel this morning to really immerse myself. It’s Boxing day where you are, right. Christmas night here still. I hope you had a good Christmas. Cheers.
Yes – Boxing Day is half over already!
I just hope us Aussies give it to the Pomms today. Haha.
Listening to the Small One again as we speak. Nearly over. Just brilliant.
Matt I woke up this morning and below was in the comments…that I didn’t post
That was really cool…I’ll have to include this in the future Christmases…thanks Matt. I’m going to listen to it again.
It’s legendary that story and just so well written and expressed by Bing and the young boy. Thanks for listening to it Max. Merry Boxing Day!
Hope you had a great one.
