Hola a todos.
Dado que la palabra "heightens" tiene varios significados, no estoy segura de cuál es aquel al que el autor se refiere en este contexto.
"Tell us about that Christmas when..."
“Tell us again about when Dad was born.”
Many have heard these stories before—and it only heightens the telling. But there are always new folks being enfolded into the circle, people who have not heard.
Gracias por su valiosa ayuda.

y de verdad los cuentos mejoran con el contarse
it means the same as "the stories improve with the telling", I don't know how you say that in Spanish, whether you can say it literally like in my answer...

it's easier to understand what the English means if you expand it like this:
"and repeating the stories only heightens their telling"
in this case you could translate as follows:
"y su repetición sólo sirve para mejorarlos / para mejorar el narrarlos / para mejorar su narración"

mejora
Literariamente, significa "alzar" o "aumentar", pero no encaja. Pero, mejorar va perfectamente.
