The Saint Who Saved Christmas

We made it to the ‘Ber months! In today’s episode of a Cozy Christmas Podcast, I’ll tell you the story of a saint I learned about who LITERALLY saved Christmas. We’ll find out about St. Aphrodisius, and his connection to Christmas, and what lessons we can learn from his life. And then I read you another old, cozy, Christmas story called “The Tell-Tale Tile” by Olive Thorne Miller. Now, don’t let the title’s allusion to an Edgar Allan Poe story frighten you – this story is definetly a cozy one! It tells the story of old Miss Bennett, who gives out of her poverty to a neighbor. What impact will that have on her, especially as she fears going to the poor house? Well, tune in to find out!
