Everyone know that I love Neil Gaiman. I also love Dickens "A Christmas Carol" and listening to Neil read my favorite Christmas story is as good as it gets. I always make the joke that I could listen to Neil read an insurance policy and love it and I am only half kidding. In addition to being one of my favorite authors, he also has a fantastic voice for telling stories. Neil's reading of this classic Christmas story of redemption is no exception.
