Our story tonight is read by Andy Richter and it's called “Crumb Meets Santa”. It’s a story about a trip into town on a December afternoon. It’s also about a chew toy in a red suit and hat, jingle bells on a collar, being surrounded by your family at the holidays, whether furry or otherwise, and letting the joy of another fill your heart.  Andy Richter is a comedian, actor, writer, and host, best known for his many years alongside Conan O’Brien. He also happens to be part of one of those movies so many of us return to year after year, Elf. This fall, he’s taking us behind the scenes of that holiday classic in his new book, Elf Unwrapped, out November 3rd.

Our story tonight is called *Safe as Houses,* and it’s a story about coming home. It’s also about a candle glowing in a window, a ring of keys in a pocket, the moon as she backs slowly away from us, and the good feeling of seeing each other tucked in safely for the night.

Our story tonight is called All Hallows’ Eve at the Inn, and it’s the third in our special Halloween series this year. It’s about the Innkeeper and her trusty sidekick Sycamore as they ready the Inn for guests on a dark October eve. It’s also about carved pumpkins that line the great staircase, a blurry face in an old photo, a bubbling cauldron of punch in the ballroom, a costume purchased from the thrift store, and a forgotten tradition brought back to life. → Nature's Sunshine | Try Nature’s Sunshine and experience the difference with supplements that are better for you and the planet.

Our story tonight is called The Moon and the Maker’s Mark, and it’s a story about a friendship born on an autumn day and plans made in the dark of night.

Originally presented as Season 14, Episode 39 (Oct 14, 2024) Our story tonight is called Crows and Candles, and it is the next in this month’s special Halloween episodes. While it isn’t at all a scary story, it is meant to be a bit of balm for those that are grieving, and if that feels too heavy for tonight, that’s understandable; might I recommend The Leaf House instead tonight? Tonight's story is about a walk on a misty day and a place at the bottom of the hill where the gate squeaks when you push it open. It’s also about rosemary and gifts brought by birds, the magic of speaking the names of those we love, and a choice to make friends wherever you go. → Nature's Sunshine | Try Nature’s Sunshine and experience the difference with supplements that are better for you and the planet.

Our stories tonight are some of my favorites. We’ll spend time at the Inn as the pumpkins are lit and the ballroom fills up with costumed neighbors. There will be cats in windows, a rumbling dumbwaiter, and a secret passageway that’s sat shut up for ages. We’ll wander through the alleys at the Night Market and make friends with bump in the night.
