My wife and I began listening to Stuart McLean’s The Vinyl Cafe nearly 20 years ago. Listening to the Christmas ones has become a regular part of our family’s annual Christmas traditions.

The most famous of McLean’s Christmas stories is “Dave Cooks the Turkey.” If you’ve never listened to Stuart McLean’s The Vinyl Cafe, much less this particular story, it’s time for you to address this egregious omission on your part. Trust me now and thank me later.

And Merry Christmas!
