Who doesn't like Christmas, this time of year when a family's invaluableness is appreciated? Ebeneezer Scrooge that's who. That's who dislikes the warm sensation of generosity. He alone with some help from curious individuals accommodate a unique traversal through happiness and tragedy. It is a journey that is meant to depict the joyous times of celebration where a small sacrifice is not as dangerous as it may seem, and yet the unseen hardships undertaken by families in this time are not all known to those with no financial worries. Much like the difficulties Dickens himself was experiencing when writing this piece. Still, Scrooge has remained is a self-absorbed, cranky, stubborn old man who is alone at this festive season of the year.
I always try to read this book around Christmas time. Every time I read it, Dickens does not disappoint. In my opinion, it is a necessary read for everyone due to its lessons being applicable even today. All I can say is that it is an invaluable classic, and a truly good read. This book is for anyone who is interested in reading more classic novels, readers who enjoy English authors or works and readers looking for a short and sweet book.
