01-20-24 I’m so glad I stumbled upon this particular story today, it’s a real heart-warmer! Any story that can help us look truly into our own hearts and take a real inventory is one written by someone who has a very generous heart to begin with ! I even had to wipe a few tears away. It was a lovely mixture of a bit of old and the new ( set in time when there were televisions ). A wonderfully written story. And yes, in answer to his question : something is better than nothing…..always ! Wish I could have met I am Ian Martin !❤
Oh wow! I listen to this program everyday two or three of them for the last year since I discovered it! Didn’t know it existed back in the 70s because it wasn’t aired on the west coast. But normally I get a good laugh a day with these but this time o balled my head off at the end!!!! Was the best one I’ve heard yet! So love hermy Munster Ed guin ❤️
i use to listen to this at midnight on the local radio station in the 70's i was just a kid i would fall asleep so i rigged up a cassette recorder on a plug in timer to record it. so i could time shift it and listen to it the next morning. i use to record the audio of tv shows that way too because vcrs were too expensive then.
I was 11, so I was (and am) right between the two of you in age! I didn't hear this radio broadcast then but am very happy that I've gotten to hear it now! 💖😀🎄🎅
I just saw an ad for the Mormon Church, reinforcing what I figured out by watching my mother sending emails to relatives in Oklahoma; We use all these new mediums to do and talk about the same old stuff. SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.
Sounds like this story could make a very good "altern8" Christmas Carol with Jasper being an "altern8" Ebenezer Scrooge being filled with the spirit of Christmas.
Another possible definition of a miracle could be something that defies logic and reason, and cannot be fully understood or explained, even under extremely thorough analysis. As I posted elsewhere, scientists determine something to be scientifically impossible..... and then it reveals itself. Does that sound like something that could be considered a minor miracle at the very least?
Yes, scientists are very pedantic about what is or is not possible. It's quite ridiculous really because they literally argue both sides of the coin and expect the public to take them seriously; every time they are faced with an occurrence that can't be repeated or tested in a lab with the exact same results every time, they claim the person is delusional or lying. Meanwhile, back at the ranch (lol), quantum physics has shown us that the expectations and presence of a particular spectator can alter the outcome of an experiment. So we as the public are supposed to simultaneously believe that a) a premise cannot be considered proven factual unless it can be repeated under strict conditions with the exact same outcome, and b) that an experiment can be perpetually repeated and its outcome may change depending on the expectations and presence of the observers. Which side of the argument they decide to stress at any given time seems to depend only on which will make them appear correct. If someone claims a miracle, then they back the premise that it can't be repeated under lab conditions, and if their pet theory doesn't perform well during testing, well then, they argue quantum mechanics. I personally think we should believe in miracles, and also believe that scientists have no more full understanding of how the universe works than doctors of a bygone era did when they believed continually bleeding a person would make them well. Let's not forget the scientists of today will be the idiots of a hundred years from now, and people will be shaking their heads and smirking over the incredible ignorance of the scientists of our age; just as we do now about doctors of a bygone era believing that body humours such as phlegm needed to be balanced, lol. I'm perfectly happy seeing and believing in miracles, and let scientists believe in their current idiocy of the moment.😇
If you want to do something different .Get your family together and listen to the cbs mystery theater. Radio shows,the stories are good.So kids how it was before television 📺.
Heard this story when it was first broadcast, In all the following decades it has never failed to move or charm this listener. Bravo, Mr. Martin.
I found and listened to this program this afternoon. Very thankful. Very much enjoyed it. Thank you for posting it.
This was a nice one. For me one of my favorite ones is (The failed God.)
This is the first time I heard this story and it is a very excellence one to listen to even if it is not Christmas at all. A magical story!
Listening in San Diego on December 4th 2021- seasons Greetings 🎄🍾🥂
What a beautiful story!

Love the story merry Xmas to all
Playing this right now. Timely. An obvious riff on "A Christmas Carol" and Scrooge. John V. Karavitis
Well well. This story first aired on Christmas Eve when I was 1.
I was 21
I was 11, so I was (and am) right between the two of you in age! I didn't hear this radio broadcast then but am very happy that I've gotten to hear it now! 💖😀🎄🎅

I keep hearing Rodney Dangerfield. lol
If this story doesn't touch your heart you might need a Santa suit
Sounds like this story could make a very good "altern8" Christmas Carol with Jasper being an "altern8" Ebenezer Scrooge being filled with the spirit of Christmas.

Very well put.

That kids voice driving me crazy
Sweet story. Wouldn't it be nice if this was real?

Unfortunately, this one sounds like it’s through a tunnel and difficult to hear
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!
A shopkeeper in this story sounds suspiciously like a certain Right Jolly Old Elf.
(snickering)
Does anyone know who played Jenny?
Similar to the Grinch!

Don't like the actress's baby voice, having a hard time listening.
