A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

Pickpick

This was even better than I thought it would be! I've seen so many adaptations of A Christmas Carol that I just sort of assumed I'd read it at some point but this definitely felt like a first time read. I enjoyed the humor, which was a surprise. I also really enjoyed getting more into the root of Scrooge's obsession with wealth which is something none of the films really take on - it's a search for security that fuels the desire...👇

everlocalwest That desire for security is so much more understandable and relatable than the whole 'crotchety old man' explanation that I feel comes off in most films. Thank you very much, @KVanRead, for finally getting me to read this. I so enjoyed the #christmascarolbuddyread 7y
everlocalwest Note to add: picture is my actual #greatestgift. That pile of boys is my husband and nephews discussing rockets this morning. These little dudes and their baby sister are my whole world. 7y

We all know that books are the #greatestgift, but I rarely get books as gifts because I own a bookstore and everyone thinks I don't need any more books (what's wrong with people? 😂) This was a gift from my MIL, I can always count on her to have at least one book under the tree for me! #christmascarolbuddyread @KVanRead #mcpl #mctbr

KVanRead Love it! That is a very good MIL 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!
