First published in 1843, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens is one of the great works in the history of literature. A Christmas Carol has been made into theatrical plays, musicals, and numerous films.
The characters of A Christmas Carol have become embedded into our culture. Everyone knows what a "Scrooge" is. In addition to Mr. Scrooge, there are plenty of other unforgettable people in the book, including, deceased Jacob Marley who spends eternity lamenting his life on earth, Mr. Fezziwig ( love that name) who throws a great Christmas party, Bob Cratchit, and of course Tiny Tim.
A Christmas Carol is easily read in a day and is a good reminder that Christmas and life is about helping others and not spending all of our moments accumulating stuff.
