In 1987, a U.S. Marine wrote a new version of the classic “A Night Before Christmas.” His poem celebrated a serviceman spending Christmas far from home. The text was first passed around by mail, later by e-mail, and in 2004, it’s making the round on online blogs.
In this radio diary, hear the poem read by its author.
Guests:
James M. Schmidt, former Marine Corps corporal, author of the poem “Merry Christmas, My Friend”
