My tears thank you for sharing this most beautiful reading ever made in the English language.

Spending Christmas in Patara, Turkey, (birthplace of St. Nicholas) was cool to be able to channel Dylan. Thanks.

My mother and I would listen to this every Christmas day and delight in it's beauty. I play it now that's she's gone and it brings her back to me immediately.

Beloved story. It's poetry best sung by his voice.  Thank you!!

Thank you so much for posting the original Dylan Thomas. This is sacred for me. It is how I've marked every winter since I heard it in high school on the Caedmon label. He brings the memories to life like a god breathing life into dust. I grew up in a small Oklahoma mining town where Welsh miners and other immigrants worked the pits of soft dark coal, iridescent as starlings.

It could never be Christmas without this. Thank you.

Another vote of thanks. What a magnificent reading by the great Welsh bard. Nothing can compare with his rendition.

thanks for uploading this. I've only ever heard Cerys Matthews read it and as good as it was, you can't beat Dylan Thomas reading his own work
