By: M. J. Padgett

Narrated by: Martin Stenson

Ever wonder how Santa manages to get to all around the world in one night?

Elves, of course! George Elf is tired of being Santa's helper, but it's the only life he knows. Hundreds of years doing the same job would bore anyone nearly to death, but George would do anything to free himself of the torment. One Christmas Eve, George is a little too careless and nearly gets his head blown off by a beautiful police detective. He's never seen a human before, and she thinks she's seeing things. In an adventure the two will never forget, they find magic in unexpected places, and George decides it's time to think about his future. The problem is, George may not have a future at all. After an innocent kiss, George loses his immortality and is faced with a difficult choice. Will he remain an elf, choose to be human, or disappear forever? Find out in The Chimney Sweep!

Love this story

Oh I absolutely loved the twists in this one. It’s somehow light and heavy at the same time. Happy and sad in an odd but pleasant way. There are some minor audio issues but the narration is done well and I really liked it was told from the male perspective.

GOOD SHORT STORY. CLEAN. HUMOROUS. LOVED IT

STORY IS GOOD WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

SHORT STORY FULL OF FUNNY SCENCE & GOOD HUMOR.

CLEAN & ACCEPTABLE FOR ALL AGES.

NARRATOR MARTIN STENSON, WAS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

"I Was In Deep Chocolate Covered Snickerdoodles"

Parents- PG - this is acceptable for any age
Language- None... Made up phases like "Oh my, Gingerbread Man!"
Violence- PG13- Nothing graphic, she's a detective so there's some gun violence
Sexual Content- nothing to warn of, just snuggles and kissing variety

A bit of a mix of Elf and The Santa Clause movies in the storyline. Never kiss an elf and then leave him unattended in your home.... Super cute Christmas rom-com for the family. Definitely recommend for the next fun holiday listen.

Narrator- 4⭐ was a lot of fun to listen to and has good differentiations and acting skills. There are a handfull of areas that were missed in the sound edit where lines are repeated.

DOWN THE CHIMNEY

A WONDERFUL SWEET ROM COM, THE NARRATION WAS GREAT, AND FUN TO LISTEN TO! I CAN NOT WAIT TO LISTEN TO MORE THIS AUTHOR! IT WAS FUN TO LISTEN TO.

cute, fun holiday novella

A cute, short holiday themed novella. Well written and narrated. A story of an elf named George who tries to find himself in the elf world and the human world as well as navigate a newfound love. I love the mishaps of sweet George while he attempts to find his bearings as a human and his unsatisfaction with life I think is so relatable to most people at some point in their lives, so I appreciated that. I also really loved the family bonds that are realized and become so vital. Overall, a really sweet and fun read / listen!
