A Note to Parents Dear listeners, Tonight's episode is something special - a departure from our usual conversations. As Christmas Eve approaches, I wanted to create something a little different. This episode is a bedtime story designed to help your little ones settle into sleep on Christmas Eve, beginning with a gentle relaxation exercise and flowing into a story that captures both the wonder of Christmas and the beauty of childhood on the farm. The story's pacing, sound design, and narrative structure are all crafted to help children wind down while feeling connected to the special magic of both Christmas and farm living. Growing up, I often demanded “kitty stories” from my dad which were the adventures of our farm cats, dramatized for long car rides and bed time. I enjoy continuing this tradition of sorts in making up stories about a cantankerous pigeon for my own kids. My own kids often listen to bedtime podcasts with a sci-fi and fantasy theme, and I’ve been wanting to create a farm kid version to take for a test run. The Story Behind the Story This story holds a special place in my heart because it's inspired by a real Christmas Eve from when my oldest son was just 16 months old. Our Australian Shepherd, Dezi gave birth to a beautiful set of puppies on Christmas Eve, choosing our couch over the prepared whelping box we had set up. I love how this story shows how the best gifts often come in their own time and their own way - a lesson that seems especially poignant during the Christmas season. Episode Details - Runtime: 35 minutes - Recommended age: 3-10 years - Best enjoyed: While getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve - Audio level: Mixed specifically for bedtime listening Regular Programming Note Don't worry - we'll be back to our regular farming discussions in our next episode. But tonight, we're taking a moment to share the magic of farm life through a child's eyes. Wishing all of you a peaceful Christmas Eve and a joyful Christmas morning. Lexi Host, Farming on Purpose…
