In his "Ghostly little book," Charles Dickens invents the modern concept of Christmas Spirit and offers one of the worldÂ’s most adapted and imitated stories. We know Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, not only as fictional characters, but also as icons of the true meaning of Christmas in a world still plagued with avarice and cynicism. Average Rating:
 Rating: - God bless us, every one.Ebenezer Scrooge is a bitter, miserly old man who is visited by the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge that three ghosts will visit him and give him one last chance of redemption. The three ghosts of Christmas (Past, Present, and Yet to Come) convince Scrooge to change his ways and to rediscover the kind and generous man he was as a young man. A true Christmas classic and the only Dickens novel that I LOVE. Rating:  - A Story for Everyone's ChristmasA greater classic of literature and Christmas there is not. This novel is a terrific story on the benefits of improving your character and taking into consideration all those around you. The story was a quick and joyful read that also happened to be the first time I have read this well-known classic. Although, I knew the story quite well through the various televised versions one finds every year I was still surprised to notice many scenes which I had never witnessed in the filmed productions. ...

Yes, but did you ever actually sit down and read the book? I had one friend who read it aloud to his children every year and another whose mother used to read it to him every Christmas. The last time I read this book I recorded myself on my Karaoke. I started reading books aloud out in my reading room some time ago. It is really a whole other experience. They call this book a classic ... Read More Rating: - Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...Has any story been copied more times than A Christmas Carol? It seems almost every year there is a new movie version. And how many sitcom characters have been visited by the ghosts of Christmas? It all starts to get a little tiring at times, but the original never does. This story is beautiful. No matter how many clumsy knockoffs try to capitalize on the idea and no matter how many dance numbers it inspires, the integrity of this classic will endure. Read it again, and introduce it to your children, ... Read More Rating: - Even the Blind Mans Dog avoided Scrooge!This is the most heartwarming story EVER written about Yuletide, the story is truly magical. It captures the very essence of what Christmas is all about. I like to start reading it every December, just to get into that "Christmassy" mood, it's a lot more effective then "Bottled" Christmas spirits. But let us not forget as the author is at pains to point out; Marley was dead,.... to begin with. ~~~~ "I am the Ghost of Christmas Past." "Long Past?" ... Read More
