Hello everyone! This is a special episode of The Flower Podcast. Often during this time of year we replay past episodes of our podcast, but this year I would like to share something from our family's archives. My Dad for many years has collected a wide range of old time radio shows. His collection is made up of over 30,000 different shows and of course there are several Christmas specials.

Since Christmas is one week away, we thought it would be fun to share this condensed version of Charles Dickens Classic, "A Christmas Carol," The book was originally published back in 1843 and has been a holiday classic for many years. This radio show was aired on Christmas Day back in 1949 starring Lionel Barrymore. We've included some of the original commercials thrown in for fun. This week isn't about flowers, but the holiday's, family, and friends.

We'll be taking a break for a several weeks as we prepare for our new season in 2024. Until then I hope you enjoy this special episode.

Everyone at The Flower Podcast wants you to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
