I only recently learned telling ghost stories was apart of Christmas tradition. This story makes a lot more sense now. And it is an excellent ghost story. Not sure it would be a fun read any other time apart from christmas, but maybe if you like to play Christmas music right after Halloween it would be your thing.

I literally can’t stand Charles. Sorry.

I truly love The Christmas Carol, and rereading this was an absolute joy. I have loved Charles Dickens’ writings since I was younger. This novel is full of nostalgia, but also holds wonderful tales of how important the “true meaning of Christmas” is. It’s not about Santa or buying the newest product, but rather about comprehending the importance of family and friendship and portraying that love through quality time, kindness, & gift-giving.

Uno de mis relatos navideños favoritos y de unos mis autores preferidos.
De manera mágica y arrolladora se tocan temas que de gran importancia para la humanidad, la generosidad y el compartir con los menos afortunados.
Este relato lo leí hace un tiempo, y es sorprendente como las ideas que se presentan han trascendido el tiempo y siguen marcando una época muy especial.

Previously rated it as 3 stars, but bumped it to 5 stars.
This book is perfection, I forgot how important this book is. Without "A Christmas Carol" there would not be "It's a Wonderful life" (which is my favourite christmas film). Last time I read this I hadn't watched "It's a wonderful life", but now rereading (3rd of 4th reread) I am even more grateful this book exists. I always enjoy reading this book over the Christmas period.
