#ChristmasCarolReread #ChristmasCarolBuddyRead

Here's my review of A Christmas Carol. I loved it! I loved it so much more than l expected!
And it gave me such respect for Dickens. I learned a few things about him as a man thanks to @KVanRead beautiful posts, discovering quite an awesome human being beyond the author.

I'm so happy l took part in this readalong!

I'm know it was supposed to end yesterday, but really l could put in any read in the last few days.
Finished it tonight and loved it! It's been one of my favourite stories since l was a kid, but this is the first time l read the book and the very first time l read Dickens. l can't even tell you how much l enjoyed it.
Why on earth have l wanted so long to read Dickens?

Thanks so much to @KVanRead

KVanRead This is wonderful! Happy Holidays! 7y

#christmascarolbuddyread #christmascarolreread #GreatestGift #DecDays #UnderneathTheTree🎄What a pleasure to read A Christmas Carol an issue a day with a bunch of wonderful Littens.❤️Mahalo @KVanRead for organizing it! It had been a while since I'd read it & I'd forgotten what a great story it is-funny, poignant, spooky & heartwarming. It shows that the greatest 🎁is not found under the 🎄but inside of our hearts. 💚Happy Holidays to all!

My grandma passed away at the beginning of December and the next day I made her fruitcake recipe before heading home to be with my family. This evening before all the craziness of Christmas Day, this is how I remember her. I finished rereading a wonderful Christmas story that reminds us of the importance of caring for those around you while you have the chance, and I had a slice of fruitcake.

Daisey Just in case you are confused by my making fruitcake at the beginning of December, it is supposed to age for about a month before serving. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great memories! 🙂. My Gram passed away the beginning of last Dec. She always got Chocolate Cherry Cordials for Christmas, I bought some for myself this year... they will always make me think of her. 7y

Daisey @Riveted_Reader_Melissa There are several recipes that will always remind me of her. I think things like these that we can continue to share are a good way to remember our loved ones. 7y

Daisey @Bostonmomx2 @DGRachel @Chrysta23 Thank you. It‘s been tough to find my Christmas spirit this year, but I know she would want us to continue to celebrate like she did. 7y
Daisey @GondorGirl @Lcsmcat @DebinHawaii @JessClark78 Thank you. Grandpa was actually worrying somewhat about getting it done for Christmas so I was happy to make it for him. Now, I think it will be me that continues this tradition. 7y

I‘m so very happy that I jumped in on this buddy read! A Christmas Carol is such a lovely story and I haven‘t experienced the beauty of Dickens‘ writing in far too long.❤️

#DecDays #YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch #christmascarolbuddyread #ChristmasCarolReread I'm using my #CratchitCatchup night to watch another version of A Christmas Carol, the 1984 George C. Scott version. Since Mr. Scrooge and Mr. Grinch both start out as mean curmudgeons who change at Christmas, I think Scrooge and A Christmas Carol work well for today's musical prompt. ??Happy Christmas Eve-Eve and as Tiny Tim would say, "God bless us every one! "?❤️

Cinfhen Right back at ya❤️💚❤️awesome collage❣️❣️❣️ 7y
Zelma Best movie ever! 👍 7y
MemoirsForMe I just watched the same movie last night. 😊🙌🏻 I'm always up for any version of A Christmas Carol. Too bad I missed the buddy read. 7y

Redwritinghood My favorite version as well. 💕💕 7y
DebinHawaii @cinfhen Thank you! 💚❤️ @Zelma @GypsyKat @Redwritinghood I usually pick the 1938 as my favorite for sentimental reasons but this one may replace it. I forgot how good it was. 👍👍 @UwannaPublishme I'm sorry you missed the buddy read! It was fun to revisit a classic. 🎄📚❤️ @JenReadsAlot Thank you! A very Merry Christmas back to you & Cosmo 🐱from Max & me! 😽🎄 (edited) 7y

“Nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset”

So true and so sad....but as Scrooge, ignore them and do good anyway.

I completely enjoyed re-reading this classic this year on a countdown to Christmas....honestly I think it‘s become more meaningful as the years have passed and especially this year with its message of caring and compassion for our fellow men and women.

I though I knew my mythology fairly well, but this name I had to look up, and the original story doesn‘t jog my memory either.... so new one for me today! Although I‘m not exactly sure how his overabundance of emotions quite fits that myth, at least by the tiny summary they gave in the definition, I guess I‘ll have to do some more searching after I finish this book.

KVanRead Intriguing. 7y
KVanRead My edition has a note that says Laocoön and his sons were killed when giant sea serpents entwined themselves round them. I think in Scrooge‘s case his stockings are the serpents.☺️ 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @KVanRead Thank you! I didn‘t get the entwining part in my quick kindle definition, that definitely makes more sense. 7y
merelybookish Oh thank you! I assumed it was a racist term like Octoroon. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @merelybookish You are so welcome! Makes the ending a bit better for you I bet! 7y
