Ah, that description of Mrs. Cratchit’s pudding was so vivid. I definitely don’t want to eat a dessert that smells like laundry being washed. However, I understand her nervousness about how well a dish will turn out especially when hours have gone into preparing it. Maybe some day I will get a proper pudding cloth so I can attempt to recreate her boiled pudding.

i don't care that it's pedantic or overly didactic or kinda maybe sorta conservative, this book is funny as hell. sometimes you just need a feel-good story about a shitty guy learning to be better. the muppet christmas carol movie forever.

Just read this for a third time, and I'll probably read it several more times in the future. I don't remember it being so funny, so tongue-in-cheek, or so delightful when I was younger. It's a classic for a reason, and it certainly reminded me of the important things about the holiday spirit.
Fourth reading was listening to the edition read by Simon Prebble. Very good narration! But I couldn't help imagining all of the characters as muppets ;)
