One of my favorite novels by Charles Dickens and it has survived all this time, still touching our hearts, still helping us remember the joy in Christmas and in life. "God bless us everyone!"

This book inspired my favorite Christmas movie, A Muppet Christmas Carol. <3

Somehow, I'd never read this before, despite knowing the story and having seen the "Scrooge McDuck" cartoon (and a Muppets version?) and even being in the play when I was little. (I blame the fact that I got to "Great Expectations" first and decided none of Dickens' other books were worth reading.) It was actually quite good, and now I'm considering picking up more of his books, now that I'm not forced to read them for school.
