A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Stories
2 journalers for this copy...
2023 - culling the stacks, so I will find another place to release this book.
Chosen from Dabercro's Post-Christmas book box..
I've never actually read the classic A Christmas Carol* by Dickens or any other of his Christmas tales. I guess it is time I did.
* I have certainly seen several movies of it from Mr. Magoo's A Christmas Carol to Albert Finney's musical to Scrooged starring Bill Murray, etc.

I can see why Dickens is considered required reading, but also why I never made it through any of his other books I tried over the years. The introduction was helpful.
Enjoyed A Christmas Carol with all its spirits teaching Scrooge the meaning of Christmas, but A Christmas Tree seemed more like list after list of every possible Christmas-related items seen during the Victorian times. A Christmas Dinner was a bit better as family relationships were addressed, and A Good-Humoured Christmas was alternately joyous and creepy (much like the last spirit in A Christmas Carol). Not sure if I will ever read another Dickens again.
