The story of "A Christmas Carol" is known by pretty much everyone and adapted many times. I love reading it at the holidays and honestly get something new out of it every time I reread it.
For those of you who don't know what this book is about, it follows a man named Ebeneezer Scrooge, a cold, grumpy and angry man, as he is visited by three ghosts, and is allowed a chance to reflect on his life and things go from there.
It's absolutely fantastic and I particularly loved this reread because of some things I've been thinking about lately.
If you haven't read this classic Christmas story, I'd highly recommend it, fan of Dickens or not.
