About this listen

 “Don’t you ever want to run away from Christmas?” Mildred Budge’s answer to Dixie was immediate and truthful. “Yes, yes, yes,” Mildred said with conviction.

She couldn’t stop saying yes, though the very idea that a good church lady would want to run away from the occasion during the year that marked the birth of Jesus-- the reason for the season for a tried and true church lady of the South-- was almost beyond explanation.

“Then, let’s go. Let’s go to Fountain City and find Mr. Fixit and eat sublime pies,” her friend Dixie urged. The two needed Mr. Fixit because of a recently bought vintage music box that would not play. They can’t hear the song, and the angels on top can’t fly. The problem feels urgent.

By the time Mildred and Dixie find Mr. Fixit and sample pies at the shop next door, the two runaways from Christmas find themselves right at home in Fountain City and more comfortable with who they are. If you are looking for an uplifting story that reminds you of the reason for the season after all, you’ll surely enjoy this newest short adventure of Mildred Budge and her new friend Dixie, a woman whose multiple personalities encourages readers to enjoy the dimensions of personhood that can’t be labeled and which often respond to beauty and shared joy.

If you don’t love Christmas and especially if you do, grab a copy of this charming Christmas story today. You’ll be smiling by the time Mildred asks Dixie, “Are you ready to go home?” And you’ll want to go with them.

I hated the AI voice. I lost much of the humor. It really was a disappointment to hear the narration and I nearly quit several times.
