Two Classic Christmas Stories

Kelsie Moore

On this 2020 Christmas, we know the holiday will look different than it has in years past, distanced as many of us are from family and loved ones. RadioWest’s gift to you is something familiar – two of our favorite holiday stories. 

This Friday at 11 a.m., we’ll rebroadcast Ron Carlson’s “H Street Sledding Record” and "A Christmas Memory,” by Truman Capote, two stories we’ve loved and shared over the years. (Rebroadcast)

  • Ron Carlson's "H Street Sledding Record" appears in his book A Kind of Flying [Indiebound|Amazon| Bookshop]. It's read here by the actor Tobin Atkinson.
  • Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" is read by the scholar Joseph Maiolo [Indiebound|Amazon| Bookshop].
