Description: This classic tale tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, the original Christmas humbug. Scrooge practically has no heart in him at all, until visits from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come show him the consequences of his steely demeanor. When he awakes on Christmas morning he is a new person compeltely, and spreads Christmas cheer the rest of his life.
Thoughts: This has really taken me a long time to post--sorry. I think that this story is familiar to almost everyone, but it is still worth an hour to read it Dickens' orignal version. I read it during my commute the last two days before Christmas, and really enjoyed it. Great moral, great writing, fun story.
Disclaimer: None.
