12/24/2020 | 33m 16sVideo has Closed Captions
Allan Gurganus created a new holiday tradition with a Christmas story he reads every year.
In 2004, NPR's "All Things Considered" reached out to Allan Gurganus & asked him to write something he could read on-air on Christmas Eve. With barely 2 weeks to work on it, he began to write. The result was magical & a new holiday tradition was created. It lives on in Allan's annual readings of his short story "A Fool for Christmas."
