Hearing CK's voice is a great Christmas gift October 11, 2000

In this audiotape of Charles Kuralt's observations of Christmas in different times and in different places, the listener is treated, once again, to that unique vision and voice which is his alone. This is no prettied-up TV commercial take on the season. Instead, the images these words create last far longer and are far more compelling than what the admen sell. This collection of Christmas observations is about giving: how and what people give; the sacrificial element of certain gifts; the humbling act of receiving such gifts; and the fundamental and instinctive need to give. The humility of the 5 year old Charles assuming the bike must have been left for someone else, rings so true and is such a welcome antithesis to current cries of "is this ALL?" If seasonal excesses overwhelm, take half of an hour and listen to this tape.
