Here's a story for Christmas Eve: a classic tale by Monty James. Thanks to all my listeners this year who have been wonderfully supportive of the channel. Those that celebrate, have a terrific Christmas and know that I am clinking a virtual glass with you wherever you are in the world (and whatever you're drinking)! Sláinte! Cin!Cin! Salud! Santé! Skål! Prost! Yamas! Kanpai! And, indeed, cheers! 🍻🍻
Cheers Jasper, a very happy Xmas to you and yours. Really appreciate your art and look forward to more. Hopefully you’ll be remunerated in line with your skill. Cin Cin
" Are you asleep, Count Magnus? Are you awake Count Magnus? " One of my favorite James stories. Poor Mr Wrexall. I do not think the Count's Familiar was very kind to him ! HPLs favorite James story btw.
Thank you so much for all you do for us, Jasper. You have been spoiling us this festive season and it has been an absolute joy. You really are the best and I hope you know how deeply you are appreciated. Wishing a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. May we all stay spooky in 2025 because goodness knows we will need the distraction...!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful stories! You bring me joy all year round! ✨You’re the best Jasper! ✨ Really appreciate all the heartfelt efforts you put into everything you create!
Such a good story. The weaving of past and present is so well done. The lives of Monty and the other main protagonists are expertly rendered and it feels more like a novel than a short, short story. Loved your approach to it. Thanks Mr JL
OMG I am so freaking happy right now, you just gave me the best Christmas present. I love how you read James, and Count Magnus is my all-time fave. You, sir, are THE Awesome 😎👍
Thank you Jasper for keeping me company, soothing my anxiety, entertaining me, and often making me chuckle! Happy Christmas, and may the next year bring even more deserved success to you!
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" I see what you did there. And a Merry Christmas to you too! What better way to spend the evening of Christmas Eve than by listening to this excellent reading of one of Monty's finest stories? And I'm more convinced than ever that an "EnCrypted Presents Auntie Beeb's Ghost Stories for Christmas" omnibus video will come our way eventually.
Thanks Jasper, you got me through the last hour of Christmas food prep. The tree is up, all the present are wrapped, the paving is swept... yada yada yada! I'm over it for now. If you and M.R. James hadn't chimed in, I think that I would have thrown in the tea towel, and then had to face it in the morning. Much appreciated. A very merry Yuletide to you! 🌲🏙️🏡🪅🎉🎄🧸🏕️🛸
I love this story. It is great. The big hat! I love the tradition of ghost stories on Christmas Eve! If we told stories like this or "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad" at school (like James did) we would be run off. Thanks for making this Christmas season be one filled with excellent stories. Merry Christmas to all! Wishing all a wonderful season and New Year! Fantastic narration! Thanks!
I could imagine Mr. James, as a college man, reading this by candlelight to his friends (all men, the sexist swine😂!). Much better to have you, Jasper, and your very effective sound effects, particularly the lid . . . making me speculate about your possible possession of a copper coffin.
@@joedge6142 The benefit of being temporarily unemployed! I've really enjoyed being a full-time UA-camr, but all good things must come to an end...😄. Happy Christmas and New Year to you and yours, and thanks for your long time support 🙏
Merry Christmas to you and yours, have fun and food and family and fireside snuggles.....I hope 2025 brings everything you wish for, you spooky genius x
Plenty to catch up on again. But that's good, it means there's always more Jasper waiting in the wings. Where better to start that with this true classic? I really love the sound effects you us dude, it adds so much to the atmosphere. Thanks again and I hope you had a good end to 2024 sir.

My grandmother was from Sweden, and years ago I got to visit cousins in Trollhattan. Cool to hear it mentioned in this story.
Absolutely marvellous!💕
