Real Christmas Stories
UANRADIO presents a New Hoilday Tale sure to inspire and remind us of all our good fortunes. This is the tale of a man who had it all but found himself on the streets homeless.

It is our hope that by presenting stories like this one as hard as it is to listen to, the message of hope and perseverance will come through and help those that are in need make it through the season. The story is also for those who need a reminder that every day of life is a gift.
Tales from the Northern Workshop
Deep in the endless Arctic night, where aurora paint shadows that move against the light, Santa Claus opens his private journals to share the stories he's never told before. Tales from the Northern Workshop isn't your grandmother's Christmas podcast – it's a darkly whimsical journey into the strange truths behind holiday magic, narrated by a Santa who's seen too much to maintain comfortable illusions. Each episode peels back another layer of festive veneer to reveal the bizarre machinery of Christmas itself. From The List that hungers for more than just names, to Mrs. Claus's kitchen where she preserves more than just cookies, to the workshop's deeper chambers where toys remember what they used to be – these are the stories of what really happens when magic and manufacturing collide at the top of the world. Join us weekly as Santa himself reveals the secret histories, philosophical quandaries, and existential mysteries that come from centuries of serving as humanity's designated wonder-maker. Discover why the elves won't enter certain workshop wings after midnight, why some Christmas carols can only be sung backwards, and what really happens to children who peek at their presents too early.

The Christmas House
A verified Amazon review-The Christmas House is the embodiment of the Christmas Spirit. Magical, wondrous, full of the warmth generated by the company of family and friends during good times and hard. This book hits you with a healthy dose of reality, but it also takes you on a fantastical journey filled with hope and joy, grace and forgiveness. If you don't examine it too closely, but just let the words transport you on a trip that will engage your emotions and give you cause to ponder what can be real, what may be true - if "close your eyes" and open your heart, this book will bring it all to life and make you believe. I found this book engaging from the first chapter, it kept drawing me in, pulling me into the world of the house and those who live there, as well as those individuals who visit once every year at Christmas. This story is not without tragedy, but it is also infused with the glorious strength and bright light that the human spirit is capable of producing, with a little divine help and the steadfast support of the people who love you. I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning, wanting to see what happened next, anxious to find out what happened to the characters in the book I had grown to care about. The story surrounds your senses and brings the sights and smells, the many textures of Christmas to your heart, as it lifts your spirit up and makes you wonder...This podcast offers the first four chapters of the novel. The entire audio book will not be available on Amazon until Thanksgiving 2022. More episodes (chapters) will be added in the future.
