32 分钟Experience Comfort and Joy, a tale about brightening dark winter evenings with sweet traditions, a glowing Rowen tree, and a paper chain countdown. A story to bring warmth and light to the season.
Welcome to Bedtime.
Stories for Everyone in which nothing Much Happens.
You feel good, and then you fall asleep.
I'm Kathryn 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, since every episode is someone's first, I like to say a bit about how this works.
I have a story to tell you, and just like the name implies, nothing much happens in it.
I write the opposite of thrillers.
I write soothers.
And if you just follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the story will capture enough of your brain's attention to ease it into task positive mode and out of default mode, which just means you'll fall asleep.
I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.
If you wake in the night, don't hesitate to turn us right back on or to just think through any of the details from the story that you can remember.
We're creating a conditioned response in your brain, and it will get stronger and more reliable with time.
But be patient if you're new to this.
Our story tonight is called Comfort and Joy, and it's a story about adding light to the darkest evenings of winter.
