When I was a kid, I believed it all, like that old wive’s tale that animals would be granted the gift of speech for one hour on Christmas Eve. I tested that out by keeping my cat locked up in my room with me all night. She never spoke, but she did piss in the corner, since she couldn’t get to her litter box. So she still told me a magical Christmas message, loud and clear.
Rated R. Contains profanity, sexual situations, and criminal intent. Merry Christmas!

That was an excellent holiday story. And Ann did a superb job capturing the narrators voice.
Happy Holidays and keep up the great work!

The first of that story seems kinda familiar to me…
Solid writing to Mur, and props to Anna for a great read!

That was truly inspired! Terrific story, Mur. Thanks for bringing it to us, Steve.

I am not sure the reader was right for the story

While it was a good read, I’d love to hear Mur read it, though I know Steve won’t do that. Can it be found online somewhere in Mur’s voice?

Hi Izzardfan,
Unfortunately, I don’t think Mur every did a reading of this one herself. The following year’s Christmas story, “Merry Christmas From the Heartbreakers,” does have a reading from Mur, though, in Geek Fu Action Grip episodes #49 through 51.

Bitter like a true Christmas Eve.
