December nights are traditionally for story telling. Pour yourself a glass of something and settle down this Christmas Eve to listen to three short stories that we enjoyed when we ran a festive fiction competition back in December 2015.
And don't forget - we print a Bedtime story in every issue of The Simple Things.
A very Merry Christmas from The Simple Things team. X
