Ruth, I saw in the MW that you titled my reading as "Selected Poems," but actually "Etiquette for Christmas" is prose. Do you want to change it to say something like "Selections" or "Selected Pieces" or something like that?

Of course it is, silly me. Will do.

Christmas Carollin' - only about 2 seconds of silence at the end; should be 5. Otherwise OK!

Christmas Pudding - OK!

PL OK on The Night Before Christmas, unless Ruthie wants the author's name added. (It IS uncredited in this particular source.)

RuthieG · Post by **RuthieG** » November 19th, 2012, 3:21 pm

I've credited it anyway.

Thanks, Verity and Tricia

Hi,

From this Collection I would like to read Tombé du Ciel, the third of the Légendes de Noël, Contes historiques by G. Lenotre in french.

Please, let me know whether it is alright.
