The last story…that lady is a BOSS. To have such clarity after being severely burned is nuts. I wish her well with her pain and hope she continues to heal.
That 3rd story makes me so upset about the abusive dad! the courts should've been on top of the case researching if this man had previous criminal convictions! 3 years in prison is like barely a dent. how does that even happen. i just wanted to hug that young boy so tight. if you end up reading this and you are the author of that story! i hope youre doing wonderful and have an amazing life now with your mother and friends. Merry Christmas, i hope this brings a smile to you and i hope christmas in the future is able to bring you joy!
Same here. I clean my house while wearing my ear buds listing to Leads Read stories. It helps me focus on getting things done. I keep saying when I’m done cleaning, I am going to submit my own story to Let’s Read, but I have yet to do so. Cleaning house after 2 kids and 4 cats is an every day chore.
I sill can’t get over how you keep up to your upload schedule. You’ve become a pivotal part of my nighttime routine. My boyfriend snores so I listen throughout the night. Can’t live without it now.
Story bout the man stalking the 16-year old girl volunteering at the homeless shelter: they were lucky they were in the US. If this had happened in the UK, the Dad would have been the one arrested for defending his daughter. That’s how far down the rabbit hole we’ve come.
The same in Canada. If someone breaks into your home and you use anything like a baseball bat to hit them, that person (the thief) can charge you. It's beyond ridiculous.
@@SNixon14 that sucks ass. Thankfully, most states have stand your ground laws where if you believe you are in danger you can use reasonable force to defend yourself.
I was married for 4 yrs when I was 18 yrs old. He was abusive, a drunk and a coke head, among other things. I'm 61 yrs old & he is still obsessed with me & continues to try and find me to this day. This is bad enuf, i can't imagine someone doing this since I was a child. 😢
Was so worried the guy in the first story would do anything to the kitten that I let out an audible "Oh thank god" upon revelation of what was actually in the last box (And then proceeded to laugh because that felt like a strange reaction to getting that kind of think delivered to you... But hey, at least it wasn't a dead kitten)
So creepy, you posted this just as I was about to stuff the stockings! 😱😉 thanks for the great stories to keep me company as I finish my holiday preparations! Happy holidays Joel and everyone, have fun and stay safe!
He's so good at timing the story releases right ain't he lol just hit midnight here in UK as it was uploaded. Perfect before my earphones go in and listen before drifting to sleep 😴
I was never scared of falling into the stove until that last story. As a handicapped clumsy person who loves to cook I am now terrified! Blessings to the person who lived through this.
I enjoyed all these Christmas, horror stories! I clenched and raised my fist a little at what the intruder was doing to that poor boy in the second story. I'm sorry that the mom had to have a divorce from the dad because of drug-related reasons. I can't believe he would leave her daughter alone just to sell drugs! I'm glad all the victims in these stories were okay or at least, survived. It was a good thing the woman in the last story decided not to wait. The father was very nice. I don't like how the world can be cruel. Thank you for the video, Joel. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎄🎉
Merry Christmas everyone I been a fan for the last 4rs and still listening till this day while at work been taking a nap on my breaks.... thanks Joel 🙏💞
coworker trying to get into your apartment after dropping you off ....should have reported them at the workplace for harassment and called the police for stalking and harassment. cults shouldn't get away with having their members do that to people.
Right in time for Grandma’s holiday baking. Happy holidays Papa Joel and butter sock fam.🤗❤️ I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with friends and family.🤗❤️
*I can’t believe nobody’s talking about the first story... Let’s just say he had quite the package for her. It’s either one of the craziest “secret admirer” stories I’ve heard, or that author has a very active imagination. I couldn’t find anything on the internet about a situation like that 😂*
I don't understand how CO workers could try to break in to your home and you wouldn't call the cops nor bring it up to them AND would continue to just go to work with them. Also the oven story. The way she said I did what everyone always fears doing and fell head first into the oven. I've never even considered that happening. Thank God you survived though I imagine that was beyond horrible.
You are always dependable, reliable & consistent. For all of that...thank you & I hope you have a good Christmas & New Year's Day Joel. 24/🎄/22 1:41am 🇬🇧
That first story sounds suspicious. She gets a threatening letter, and when she is getting these packages daily, the cops don’t have a patrol monitor her house? Also there is no way they would have her open a package leaking a red fluid while they filmed, for safety reasons and evidence.
First one was crazy! Can’t believe no one is talking about it. At least she got a cute kitty. The Santa Donation Man one made me so angry, so dumb to not call the cops at the diner when the man was literally outside waiting for hours, and they should have followed up with the donation company to report whoever the worker was at that location.
Right? She made every poor decision possible. Pull out your cell and call the fucking police! Or if this was before cells or you didn't have one why the HELL wouldn't you inform diner staff and ask them to call? Sometimes I am truly baffled at the poor decision making in these stories.
@@DariusM I mean it's his own fault and as long as he didn't harm anyone else or the kitten, I could care less about a mental stalker. Pretty dumb of him because he was easy to find like that, but it's a relief for the victim because he can't harm her anymore.
That last story was the scariest one out of the bunch for me. Being stuck all alone with life-threatening injuries must have been beyond horrifying. I'm so that the person was able to get help! If I was in that situation, I would not have been able to think as clearly!
Holy Crap story 2 is just heartbreaking, ik what it’s like to have a dead beat, addict father, so my heart truly goes out to that person, I’m genuinely glad they’re safe.
Fake trees are better anyways. You just pull it out of the package, and put it up. No needles to clean up, no need to leave the thing to dry first, if you're in a snowy area... no risk of getting shot in the woods. Also, I'm allergic against the oils in those needles, so yeah.
Now this is the kind of Christmas media that keeps me warm. None of that nauseating sentimental stuff from my "walking panic attack" of a mother, never mind the rest of my immediate family. All the days tend to blur together when you spend them with the same set of people for almost three years... but Christmas is the worst because you are forced to play "happy families" already. Doing that on top of lying to ourselves that we can recover from irreparable damage of political upheaval and desperate medical circumstances? It's impossible for me.
That last one made me cry. How hopeless she must have felt while pulling herself out of the car. How she gave into tears on the doorstep when the little girl slammed the door. When I found out the stranger whipped her into his arms..he took her life into his hands and that is heartbreakingly beautiful. He wasn’t going to let her die. That’s what he told himself. First time I’ve ever cried here, lol. I hope she knows how powerful her story is. It’s with a lifetime movie AT LEAST, lol. ❤
I was a little grumpy that the family was about to steal a tree that might have been on someone’s property. But for someone to go out to hunt them down, that’s crazy.
Been looking forward to seeing what title you decided on after last night's livestream. Joel, you've done it again! Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
I couldn't stop laughing at the donation collecting Santa Man. Honestly that guy is tapped in a dangerous yet hilarious way. And yay to all the hero dads with the exception of druggie sell-out dad.
Just started the second story and gotta say, I enjoy it when Joel does different voices and accents to differentiate the various people in the stories. 😄 OK, back to listening . . .
I've been home sick all week with the flu. I thought I had kept it at bay, but the bugger got me, no pun intended, lol. Thanks to Joel @ Let's Read for keeping me company. I'm not sure, but I think it's affecting my fever dreams, though. lol. They've been wild. Lol

Hey what video is it where you talk about the erdstall tunnels in Europe
The last story…that lady is a BOSS. To have such clarity after being severely burned is nuts. I wish her well with her pain and hope she continues to heal.
If you believe any of that last story, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I’d like to sell you.
@@heels013, sadly, I must turn down your offer. I already found a real good deal for some ocean front property in Kansas 😂
How does your head fall into the oven? 😧
@@luzcrispin3684 My exact thoughts. Sounds made up.
Using a child as a bargaining chip in an adults’ dispute is one of the most cowardly crimes a person can commit.
No kidding. I hope that so-called dad gets major karma

while embryos are precious to some people, actual children are not worth anything to the law. it's atrocious.
@@margaretjohnson6259 how did you manage to turn this into an abortion thing? Shut up

i have never felt more at peace than when i’m listening to these stories when i fall asleep
I refuse to miss any let’s reads
“I feel so at peace listening to peoples peace be destroyed” 😂😂😂 I feel the same way but the concept is funny
Cool story
Tell me about it ❤

@@SNixon14 The latest woke bid to destroy Western societies: blame the victim and protect the criminal. 🤮
I think the situation would be similar all over Europe, even if people break into your house you can't do anything :C
@@Nianometh Well, I live in Southern Europe so that’s not too widespread yet but we’re not allowed guns.
@@SNixon14 that sucks ass. Thankfully, most states have stand your ground laws where if you believe you are in danger you can use reasonable force to defend yourself.
the last story just unlocked a new fear in me as someone who is really clumsy… i’m glad she got help though, hope she’s doing lots better
That last story is a complete crock of 💩. No way you believe any of that.
Thank you Joel for everything you do your the best. Merry Christmas 🎄
Having a stalker is one thing but a guy who's obsessed with you since your CHILDHOOD and knows everything about you trying to abduct you, wth!!!
Creepy asf. All I could think was ew, and how disgusting.
I was married for 4 yrs when I was 18 yrs old. He was abusive, a drunk and a coke head, among other things. I'm 61 yrs old & he is still obsessed with me & continues to try and find me to this day. This is bad enuf, i can't imagine someone doing this since I was a child. 😢
You got married at 18 or 14??? I’m really sorry you went through that
@@Gaby-fb7gh😅😅😊nn😊nonnniiiiiiiii😊
She should have gone to security at the mall.

Some freaking badass dads in a couple of these stories. 🙌🏼
Yes ,also messed up stalkers.
My eyes shot open so hard when Joel said the mom's hand was full of blood....ooowwie that got me!
Awesome video as always have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!!!
I will avoid the innuendos that one can make with "stuff" and "stocking" and thank you for the wonderful narrations instead
Merry Christmas Joel and Purrdeep!!
To all my livestream crew, Merry Christmas and Buttersocks!!! (check in below!!)
See you next year ❤️ you’ve been a big influence 🎉🎉❤
Note to self, continue to buy fake trees. No “family tradition” is worth some bullets in the woods. That’s literally terrifying.
Fake trees are better anyways.
You just pull it out of the package, and put it up. No needles to clean up, no need to leave the thing to dry first, if you're in a snowy area... no risk of getting shot in the woods.
Also, I'm allergic against the oils in those needles, so yeah.
if you get burnt: COLD WATER. not ice. COLD WATER FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES or until help arrives.
the dad and child story really hit hard for me...i had to take a minute to myself
Just don't cut your knob off no matter how hard it gets.
No pun intended
Good choice on the title! Thanks for posting ✌🏻
