A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is one of the most popular stories of the Christmas Season. Movies, plays, musicals, animations, even Muppets--this story has probably been told and retold in more ways that just about anything besides the Bible. And just as the Bible is one of the most purchased and least read books in the world, Dickens' A Christmas Carol, though a well-known story, has not been read as a book as often and as widely as it deserves to be.
That's too bad, because it is a truly beautifully written novella. It doesn't take long to read because it's only just over a hundred pages. If you have a Nook or a Kindle, you can probably get it for free, and a paperback is probably available for $5 or less. I'd recommend reading a real book with real pages by lamplight near a cozy fireplace with a cup of tea close at hand.If you have never read it, I'd encourage you to do so. I think you'll discover there is more to this old story than you may have expected.
