33 分钟Step into City Sidewalks, a magical holiday story featuring festive shop windows, gingerbread miracles, and the quiet thrill of a theater before a film begins. Perfect for cozy winter evenings.
Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone in Which Nothing Much Happens.
You feel good, and then you fall asleep.
I'm Catherine Nicolai.
I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens.
Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.
We are bringing you an encore episode tonight, meaning that this story originally aired at some point in the past.
It could have been recorded with different equipment in a different location.
And since I'm a person and not a computer, I sometimes sound just slightly different.
But the stories are always soothing and family friendly and our wishes for you are always deep rest and sweet dreams.
Now let me say a bit about how to use this podcast.
Especially at night, your mind can spin and spiral with thoughts and you need a way to lift the needle off the record to find some stillness and peace.
And that's what the story is for.
I'll read it twice and I'll go a little slower the second time through.
Just follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the tail and before you know it, you'll be waking up tomorrow feeling rested and refreshed.
This is brain training.
With practice, we're creating a reliable and automatic response in your nervous system.
And all of that means that over time you'll fall asleep faster and return to sleep more easily.
Our story tonight is called City Sidewalks and it's a story about an evening looking into shop windows filled with holiday displays.
It's also about miracles made in gingerbread, realizing when something is good, and the hushed excitement in a theater as the movie is about to begin.
Now switch off your light, set down anything you've been looking at, snuggle down into your sheets and pull your comforter over your shoulder.
