A Cozy Christmas Reading: The Christmas Tree by Charles Dickens

[@judyhopkins4506]

Love your stories. One thing I like is when you emphasize that we are safe and supported. It is kind of hard to feel safe in the world today. I have problems falling asleep, but I fall asleep quickly when you begin to speak. It is nice you have a variety of stories instead of just one. How about a story of putting children to bed? Clean Pajamas , snack, hot chocolate, cuddle on the couch with pets near a fireplace , little story,, tucking them in, seeing them peacefully sleeping with the moon shining on their faces. This is just a thought. Thank you for your stories!

Good night God bless everyone and a wonderful peaceful sleep from Tennessee,.. Merry Christmas..,Thk You for all the Beautiful Stories as. Well.,..

[@heatheryfeathery1]

Thank you for another story. I love the how the relaxation exercise is predictable. It’s comforting and feels safe.

[@TheMysteryandSuspenseStories]

You reading of this Dickens classic is a delight. Your voice brings the story to life, and the background fireplace sounds add an extra layer of coziness. It's the perfect listen for a cold winter's night. Thank you!

[@storytimewithnana5670]

I started doing sleep stories for my grandchildren Last night I read The Christmas Candle. It's a good one.🌲

[@DianaArmstrong-nx2jj]

Thank you Stephen. Your channel is awesome. I suffer from anxiety & insomnia. You have helped me so much falling asleep. And when I do wake up again in the middle of the night, I just listen to another of your stories & it helps me relax again. I truly appreciate you, thank you

[@MrJlavandera]

I love your videos! I suffer from insomnia and they help me fall asleep. Sometimes I wake up and play another and fall back asleep rather quickly. Thank you!!

[@Duncansigurdsson]

I always try and fall asleep to books I'm reading, but I get perked awake by my brain trying to pay attention. Your stories let me hear a story, but fall asleep, I love it, thank you.

[@gommine]

I had to be up at 4:30 this morning so sleep was a priority. I slept through 4 of your videos, waking up briefly every now and then (it’s an age thing 😅) , spinning back to the beginning, or moving on to the next one. I love Dickens so technically that’s my favourite of the 4 videos, although I never made it past the first 6-7 minutes 😅 Thank you for what you do 🙏🏻

[@lynnA9625-c5v]

I'm looking forward to listening to this sleep story tonight. They really help relax me. I also listening to them if I wake in the night and can't drop back off. Thank you Stephen ❤

[@Coachajgentry]

I slept easily with this one. Whenever I listen to one of your original stories, I tend to try to stay awake so I can enjoy the story…😊

[@susangrimm6771]

At 3:00 a.m. this morning I found your story and was able to finally to get some rest. Thanks

[@Rachaelrileyy]

I cherish this man. 🥰

[@susanbrouwer3558]

I fell asleep listening to this story I awoke later to a scrabbling sound. Thinking there was a mouse in my room.i jumped up and began searching. Imagine my relief when it was just the white noise track after the story! Thankyou Stephen!

[@whitesnowrhino]

Thank you Stephen for making this the best time at the day. Can't wait to go to sleep.

[@KateNagle-k3g]

I started listening to you a few months ago. I listen to you every night. Thank you!

[@jbrock3006]

Good afternoon Stephen. It’s not night time as yet where I am Eastern Standard Time. I always fall asleep within just a few minutes of starting to listen to your sleep videos. I have to listen to them during the daytime. I absolutely enjoy listening to your stories, however, have never written any comments before! I also listen to your short videos when you’re on vacation. I love Charles Dickens from since my early childhood and am a lover of History and English Literature since I grew up in the British colonies! Thank you very much for making these wonderful videos and the stories that you read 😴

[@plt1969]

Good evening Stephen, I just want to say thank you for the work you put into these videos. I've struggled with insomnia the last 4 years and since I started listening to your stories I can say I sleep so well now that I sleep through my alarm. I've been on so many medications to get to me sleep with no success,the sleep aid pills went right in the garbage since I've found you and your mesmerizing voice. I'm so thankful for you and these videos!!!!! Hope your doing well, and Merry Christmas to you and yours🎄🎁🎄and very happy New Years🎉🎉

[@wendymedder6775]

Since it is Christmas Eve I usually struggle to sleep I am hoping this will help! Thank you xx

Great job!! ❤ Thank you for being so generous to all of us this season ❤.

[@divinetreasurescanada6324]

Here is a Xmas story for you! As a single mom I worked two jobs and suddenly mid December came down with bronchial pneumonia!! My kids were 8 and 10. It was about 8 pm and I was in bed while the boys watched movies. I was so sad!! Felt physically terrible but mentally too! Had done no baking ! House wasn’t decorated .. I felt terrible for the kids as I had no energy. Suddenly the doorbell rang! I called out.. I would answer it! No idea who would come visiting in the evening unannounced! It was a group of carol singers! But then… they started passing something from the back of the group and it was a huge tray of baked goods! 😮 I had tears in my eyes! I couldn’t believe it! After, I took the tray upstairs and looked in the living room… Christmas lights, my Santa collection all lined up along the hearth, the wreath above the fireplace … my mouth dropped! I asked the boys…. Who did all this! They did!! They took a photo from last year’s Christmas and copied the exact layout! There really are blessings and angels !! They are real! I wish everyone a very merry Christmas

I love these videos so much. They have become a nightly help in falling asleep and unwinding Ptsd.. I don’t know if you know this or not, but commercials are starting to show up in the middle of the video, waking with a start. This one had ine an hour in. KZbin might be inserting them. Is there another way to listen ir buy them? I will have to stop listening on KZbin. Which makes me sad! Would download a set if you have them.
