My annotated and updated version of the classic holiday tale Christmas Under the Snow, available in this blog, in my podcast - Short Story Theater, and on YouTube, has been listened to, watched, and read more than 25,000 times since I published it a few years ago.
The original version from 1905 by Olive Thorne Miller may have been read a million times or more and I'm pretty sure than not one single child has been harmed by hearing this ancient narrative.
OH YOUTUBE - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
In an age where seemingly anything goes in television, politics, radio, and film, YouTube has "Age Restricted" my annotated and updated retelling of "Christmas Under the Snow" which, as previously stated appears in this blog as well as in my podcast, Short Story Theater, and in my Book "Christmas Classics Refreshed".
Attention parents:
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO READ THIS HUNDRED YEAR OLD CHRISTMAS TALE,
they perhaps will be damaged forever because in the story, a rural family whose house is literally buried under the winter snow, captures and eats two rabbits to avoid starvation. YouTube doesn't want your children to know that in hard times people have had to resort to hunting and trapping animals for food.
Good Grief!
Don't tell them that their fish filet once swam in the ocean! Never let on that their Big Mac was slaughtered in Chicago before it got to swim in Special Sauce.
Wake up YouTube!
If you'd care to read or listen to this salacious tale, it is here on this blog. It is free to listen on my podcast, Short Story Theater, or on YouTube - but only if you are 18 or perhaps 21. Maybe you should be over 55 to hear about rabbits being used as food. Click the link if you dare! And if you do please tell YouTube you are a grown up and you know how hamburger is made and where the real Santa Claus lives! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKC6RhcLl8c
