"Christmas Carol", A History of Christmas Ghosts
This is a story, a tale already well known and because of the movie "A Christmas Carol" by Robert Zemeckis. I saw the movie in the theater in 2009 and fell in love completely by the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas. Every year the Christmas time have a habit of watching the movie and since 2009 he wanted to buy the book Dickens Christmas tale.
Reading this story didn't disappoint me at all. I still to like it! Dickens's writing is addictive, and I say this because even know the story heart by heart I was super excited to read the story and wanted to devour it all at once. The descriptions are perfect, I could imagine what was described perfectly.
Not much to say about this story. I'm a passionate about it. And this year changed the film on Christmas Day by the tale reading.
5 out of 5 stars
"The chimes", magic history of some bells that announce the departure of an old year and the arrival of a new year.
This story was very strange to me.
Toby speaks of a "servant" of scraps an old man looking for the bells, which has a "fascination" for them and compares them with himself. But beyond that, this tale is a reflection of English society of that time and the marked differences between social classes.
The first half of the story is very boring and even gave me want to move to the next tale, but as I'm persistent, continued with reading and discovered a second part of the much more interesting, but still strange .. I dislike this tale, honestly.

"The Cricket on the hearth", A Tale of domestic Fairies.
Well, this story .. This story is too strange, but it is a positive odd. Unlike the previous tale that grabbed me from the start and soon started to like him.
Tells of several people. Peerybingle the couple, Caleb and his blind daughter and Mr. Tackleton, a manufacturer of ugly toys.
This is an interesting story and full of surprises. Simply I enjoyed immense this tale. He held me from first to last line. It is a tale that makes us think.
