Quote
"It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour." - Ebenezer Scrooge
Notes
"A Christmas Carol" is a timeless classic novella written by Charles Dickens, first published in 1843. Set in Victorian England, it tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who despises Christmas and everything associated with it. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the consequences of his selfishness. Throughout the night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits - the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come - who take him on a journey through time, showing him the impact of his actions on others and the potential future if he doesn't change his ways. Ultimately, Scrooge undergoes a profound transformation, embracing the spirit of Christmas and becoming a kinder, more generous person. "A Christmas Carol" is celebrated for its themes of redemption, compassion, and the power of second chances, making it a beloved holiday tale cherished by generations.
