The best christmas story.
My favourite Christmas story ever is ''A Christmas Carol'' by Charles Dickens. It is the story of Ebenezer Scroodge, an old miser, whose life and attitude changes after the visit of three Christmas spirits. Although the story was published in 1843 it really captures the true meaning of Christmas:
“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”
Here is a short version of the story. Enjoy it!
