Um die Tage zum Fest der Liebe zu verkürzen, gibt es das Hörbuch "Advent, Advent". Abwechslungsreich, unterhaltsam, aber stets zum feierlichen Anlass passend, sind die Geschichten und Gedichte. Abraham a Sancta Clara gibt einen humorvollen wie praktischen Tipp zur Reduzierung des Holzverbrauchs im Winter. Kurt Tucholsky empfiehlt, nicht nach dem "Ideal" zu streben. Johann Peter Hebel warnt, vorsichtig zu sein bei der Wahl, wenn eine Fee "Drei Wünsche" gewährt. Besinnlich wird es mit "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen".
