Ohhh she's early to the party! ;) I'm just about to start writing all of the Christmas stories now, too! Ooooft it feels early but Santa's got to work ;) S x
Sam, wishing you and your loved ones a very happy Christmas and Hogmanay. Thank you for sharing your gift of brilliant stories and soothing voice, they are now a requirement for me to sleep.
Sam has a true gift for these stories. There is a tremendous kindness, healing and generosity of spirit in his voice and the stories. They are perfect for simply relaxing in the present and also deep supportive sleep.
Well here it is everyone. FINALLY. I can't describe the pain, energy and frustration this story took to get here... The story was created, lost to software issues, reedited, my laptop corrupted and RUclips refused to upload it. I'd estimate 30 hours were put into this. But it's finally here and I'm an emotional wreck... 😅 I am so, so proud of this. The production, the details, the story and writing themselves, the extra creative touches right through until the conclusion... I'm over the moon with it. I hope you love it just as much as I do. And I REALLY hope it was worth it! 😂 Please like it, subscribe and press those wee notifications as they help me to NO end as much as I know notification can be a pain. I'd really appreciate it. So here we are. This is "Warm Bothy on a Christmas Night", the perfect Christmas Fairytale. Many of you may find the title familiar... ;) Merry Christmas, everyone. S x
Thank you for all of your efforts… I truly appreciate you Sam! Happy Christmas warm holiday wishes for everybody! Health, happiness with peaceful slumber. ❤️ ☮️ 🍭😴
I know how much work goes into these meditations/stories. It is often the case that listening/viewing numbers nowhere near reflect the artistry and sheer wonder of these stories. Please know that they mean so very much to me and I'm sure to many others of your listeners. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to provide such peace and comfort to us.
Oh this title absolutely rings a bell. I listen to Warm Bothy on a Winter’s Night most often. Merry Christmas, Sam. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I’m off to sleep…
@@glamdawling I'm just about to do this one now. What is a warm bothy? Is it broth? Well, I'm off to do the meditation and dream...I just looked it up! It's a shelter!
THIS is my favorite. I listen often. I'll become a patron as soon as I can work it out. Until then, know that this one is SO good, comforting, and happy. I love the 'from cold to warmth' feel of it. It is so descriptive that I can feel it with all five senses. Thank you for this one!
Sam🙏i just want you to know that we appreciate you for such lovely stories that soothe us into a cozy oasis dreamland. Even my cats cuddle up when they hear your Romantic voice🥰
Wonderful story and set in Scotland....canny go wrong! Thankyou Sam ...first time listening to you and it was just magical. Thankyou. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 xx
Sam can you make another one like this please this Christmas!! I think you need to give the people what they want 😊❤ - this is my favourite Christmas one 🥰
Oooo just starting part 2! Love the mystical music , it really sets the mood, really feels like you transition into a dream! And the storybook rhyming to set the chapters apart! Awww and Fox got a mention. 👏😂. Now back to seeing if it was a ghoul, a goblin or even an elf(?) (The bonus 😂...nice call back! Loved it)
Hi Sam. I discovered you after Christmas. I listened to this story and it brought tears to my eyes. It touched my soul for some reason. What a wonderful gift you have in story telling. I listen every night now..love you varied selection. Thank you for your hard work. Greetings from Canada!
Wow Carol, that's simply lovely to know. Welcome, for a start. But you are so kind and I'm very happy to know you enjoy them so much. Hope to see your name around more often :) Best wishes to Canada S x
Second time listening, determined to get all of it without drifting off....though your voice is most soothing!! I love your attention to detail. Storytelling magic, indeed. Your stories always send me to a different world, and I feel that I am right there seeing the story along with you. This is a charming and beautiful world. 💕💕💕
I've listened a couple times but don't make it past the wood grain being works of art/match lighting (nicely done ! ) and you knowing I have an inside and outside tree. But the more and more I listen, the more and more I'm convinced you should write novels. (Oh I forgot to say Merry Christmas and hoping for a truly wonderful New Year. And thank you SO much for this Christmas magic!)
Geeez Ellen, stop it! You're too kind haha I'm so happy that you like this one so much though - it seems popular! Merry Christmas to you too and a Happy New Year! S x
Another amazing story to add to my playlist. Wow Sam.... This one was just outstanding. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and your channel a (very well deserved) SUCCESSFUL 2022. Thank you for all you do and your amazing stories.
Wow, only 20 minutes ago, we're practically LIVE! he he he... it's SO exciting to see how many videos have MORE than 10K views. You are rocking it Mr. Snooze! ;-)
I haven't managed to hear all of this yet. Which, of course, means that you've done an excellent job, as usual. I am really enjoying the sound affects. It seems that you think of everything when creating these! I find new sounds each time I re-listen. I shall endeavor to remember to share my favourite aspects of this excellent piece of work. Thank you for putting your heart and soul into your recordings. It truly makes your channel stand out above the plethora of sleep focused podcasts. With that, I am of to sleep 💤. Happy holidays!
Well I'm flattered at always Tera, and so pleased that the details are making their mark! It's one of the most time-consuming but satisfying parts of creating these. Trying to incorporate them naturally to compliment (rather than distract) is a challenge but a nice one. But bless you. Your words reach deeply. Thank you so much. :) Sleep well Tera, S x
Wow! So beautiful! It was like three stories in one with the poem throughout, plus the main narrative, and the Santa story. What an undertaking! Did you create the music as well? It was magical. And the reindeer sounds and the walking through snow sounds and the match sounds and…. All the sounds. 😆 Great job! I didn’t quite hear the end, I fell asleep while Santa was reading, but I’ll listen again until I do. Sorry so many things went wrong in the process for this one it it turned out amazing! I’ve been an emotional wreck too, for other reasons, and this story saved my brain from catching on fire last night. 🤍 Thank you for your hard work!! One day, you’ll have zillions of subscribers! You deserve it. 😊
Thank you so much Summer. As I always say, I love knowing you all notice the details which are what get me excited to create these! The music was a recording I made YEARS ago at University of the University choir. Dusted it off and used it! Can't believe it even saw daylight after all these years hahaha Your words are like a big shiny light my dear. Thank you. S x
@@summerbowman9736 ps. I really hope everything is OK with you? I'm sorry you're a little drained. Whatever's happening, I'm sparing a though or two as I settle down to sleep. S x
Definitely beautiful and soothing but would have been even better (the first time around) if I wasn't waiting for the romantic love lol *listened to this on my flight to Scotland
Hehehe yes, I understand you! That's my fault, as I was a good search result early on for 'romantic' stories. I was stretching it here, I think. Sorry! I should change the title now. Thanks for listening, anyway! 😊 S x
Hi Sam, You should be very proud of yourself for perseverance: technology...aaargh! Dare I say, this is your best yet? (Have my copy of the Bothy Bible but this will have to make do for the moment) To show my appreciation I will listen to this thirty times for each hour you put into it. Thank you thank you thank you x 10 JM xxx
To a fellow muso: I beg to differ. Your story is music to my ears. There is musicality in the cadence and timbre of your stories. 4 down, 26 to go. Hope you have a brilliant holiday. ⛷ ❄🫖☃️( no emoji for haggis....can't think why! 🤔)
Since this story was the perfect Christmas present, here's a wee thank you gift for you & your better 3/4... I don't know how to paste a link, but it's on youtube... THE BONNIE BANKS OF LOCH LOMOND by ella roberts... enjoy!
Aww thank you Lori! I'm listening to it as I write this :) haha it's a lovely evocative song which we Scots know all too well from every Ceilidh, wedding and New Year party haha everyone will join hands and run into a central mosh pit in the middle haha. It's messy! S x
Ohh my😍 what a great story!!! I absolutely loved this. Thank you for putting the time and effort into making this, we truly do appreciate it !! Have a great Christmas you truly deserve it !!! 🥰❤️
Ok sam... so... a few complaints... 1. Well, I just never get to hear the end... Zzzzzzzzzzz.... 2. I wake up the next day with sore cheeks from smiling all night. 3. You make me giggle whilst listening... "IT'S THE LAW" ... so hilarious! Very naughty to create such a lovely bit of bliss that we can never get to the end of... and yet, I shall KEEP ON TRYING! thank you as always, just love Love LOVE it!
Are you being genuine? I ask because I do not find anything creepy or disturbing about Sam's voice. I find the tone of his voice, the pace of his speech, and his perfect accent extremely soothing, even hypnotic. I won't go on and on about all of the things that, in my opinion, make Sam one of the best podcasters out there. I will, however, reiterate that I simply cannot fathom what you would find "creepy" about his voice.
Scottish and Christmas, what could be better. Your voice, Sam, is so calming and the humour you add makes the stories even better, in my opinion.
Awww thank you very much, Jo - I really appreciate that! :D S x
Still listening to this! My absolute favorite!
Ohhh she's early to the party! ;) I'm just about to start writing all of the Christmas stories now, too! Ooooft it feels early but Santa's got to work ;) S x

What an absolutely beautiful story, I can't wait to share it with my grandchildren 😊
Thank you, Kim! This year's Christmas story is coming VERY soon! I'd really appreciate some love when it lands in just under 2 weeks
Just keep going back to this one!
This one is still a favorite. Even in the summer. :)
That's lovely to know! :) S x
Sam has a true gift for these stories. There is a tremendous kindness, healing and generosity of spirit in his voice and the stories. They are perfect for simply relaxing in the present and also deep supportive sleep.
Your words are so kind MA. It's wonderful to know they can mean so much and are so well received. Thank you S x
