Note- didn’t read the abridged version of A Christmas Carol, but I read the original as part of a broader collection.

I LOVED A Christmas Carol as a young child. Every Christmas, it was THE movie I had to watch. And not the Muppets, either. I wanted the nitty gritty, black and white, Christmas redemption story served like plain black coffee (promise I’m not this insufferable in real life) and I wouldn’t take anything else.

The short story/novella, which I read for the first time this year, proves how closely the movie follows the original story. And since I loved the movie, it’s no wonder why I loved the written story. It was so, so refreshing to read on Christmas Day, short and sweet and delightfully humorous and uplifting.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!
