WORDS ON A WIRE: Christmas Reflections

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

Daniel & Ben present a special holiday program with their personal reflections on Christmases past. 

Ben remembers a Christmas when he was 6 years old and his family had slaughtered a hog for the holiday meal.   He recalls identifying more with the warmth emanating from the women in the kitchen than with the rowdiness of the men in the barn. 

Daniel recalls a Christmas Eve when he was 6 years old.  He saw the image of a horrifying man in his backyard while looking out his bedroom window.  Discovering who that man really was resulted in some inner reflections by Daniel the Boy and Daniel the Man.

Daniel & Ben will also read the poem “Journey of the Magi” by TS Eliot.  Aired Dec. 23, 2012.
