  • The Mouse Who Changed Christmas
    Aug 20 2024

    This is the story of how a mouse unintentionally changed Christmas. It is spoken by the authors of the children's book of the same name. We hope you enjoy this delightful Christmas story that imagines how a mouse chewed a hole in the bellows of the church organ with the mission of finding a perfect melody for Silent Night. His misunderstanding of where melodies come from led to his unintentional act of causing the organ to malfunction. One thing leads to another afterwards and the story of how Silent NIght became a song is finally told.
