A Christmas Carol Story | Charles Dickens

I've loved our traditions of the Christmas season. The good food, exchange of gifts, and a favorite Christmas specials on TV. Charlie Brown’s Christmas, and of course there’s the Charles Dickens classic, “A Christmas Carol” to kick off the holidays. BUT until you've read this classic ... you really don't know Christmas and all it has to give to you.

The first of the Christmas books — The Christmas Carol — appeared in 1843.

For a century and a half, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (1812-1870) has been read and reread, told and retold, performed and reperformed. Written in 1843, it is the best-known and best-loved Dickens tale.
