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.

Read it for the first time! One of the rare books that I will probably buy in print after reading the e-book
