It's a family tradition to read A Christmas Carol (original, unabridged) aloud each Christmas season and then to watch at least one film version on Christmas Eve (this year it was the Muppets' Christmas Carol - very authentic - with Michael Caine). Over the years, we have discussed the 19th century slang and customs enough so that the reading is becoming smoother and smoother without much need for editorial asides. This year we focused on favorite phrases "Marley was dead, to begin with." "theI read this every year at Christmas, and I always will do. Simply because of the atmosphere it evokes. This story is Christmas as far as Im concerned. It wouldnt be the same without it. It is perfectly festive and is also appropriately didactic. It is an allegory for what happens to those that are unnecessarily bitter and twisted, refusing to take part in a joyful occasion. It is a glimpse at what could happen to someone who rejects their family upon trivial grounds, and lets themselves be set

Updated review. Previously rated this one with only a star rating, proper one now posted. Gollum and Smeagol's "A Christmases Carol" "External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty." Gollum: Yes, yes! No Christmases, only humbugses! We loves Scrooge, we loves our precious. We swears to keep our precious so
The Christmas reading par excellence! A CLASSIC RE-IMAGINED ONCE AND AGAIN I can't tell how many times I have watched some adaptation or another of this classic story......Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, the Real Ghostbusters, live action films, animated TV specials, etc......since this is one of the most adapted stories of all time. A truly Christmas classic. And this one of the few books that I think one hardly can deny that it's the novel that defines a genre, in this case:
With a multitude of fabulous reviews already written, plays acted out and movie adaptations made from this marvelous tale, Ill keep my review short. It is Dickens. His writing is silky smooth and the characters, of course, lived brightly in my mind. Hes universally considered a master of the written word for good reason. "I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it." These
Ebenezer Scrooge, the very definition of grumpy miserliness, gets a second chance at figuring out what's really important in life, with the help of some ghosts who give him an unforgettable version of "This is Your Life."This may not be a perfect piece of literature - there are a few places where Dickens goes off on tangential lines of thought that I thought would have been better left out - but you know, it's actually amazing and really touching, the influence this classic novella has had on
