I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Their faithful Friend and Servant,C. D.December, 1843.
A wonderful story. I've read the book more times than I can count. The earlier movies, 1938 version starring Reginald Owen is probably my favorite. Sounds like another movie marathon is in the wings.
Hope you all survived Thanksgiving! It was pretty busy around here. We got all the visits in and all the food eaten. Now I'm just trying to get re-organized as far as what to do or buy next. I'll get the Christmas bird in the next couple of weeks, but the dry stuff, I'll get this week. I'm NOT going to wait till the last minute again. That was a shopping nightmare.
Well, y'all have a wonderful day and I'll see you again tomorrow.

Dickens had a way of making you forget how warm and cozy you were, his words made you feel as though you were on one of those snowy streets back then.

This is my Larry's most favorite of all Christmas movies. We have each and every version made and he never gets enough of it. I have decided I am going to give each person in my family a character attritube from this flick. It is timeless, far reaching and relevant. Now who would you be? Mr or Mrs Cratchett? Or perhaps Tiny Tim or one of his sibs?
