"Marley was dead, to begin with...This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate."
Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
My mum used to read Charles Dickens'
A Christmas Carol every December and it's a tradition that my sister and I try to carry on. Although quite often I forget and then blitz through it on Christmas Eve.
There's not much I can say about this Christmas classic that hasn't already been said, and it's hard to write an unbiased review as the book is such a part of our culture.
A Christmas Carol has been recreated on screen so many times, and the term Scrooge and Bah Humbug have become a part of our language. Actually, I watched
The Muppet Christmas Carol before I ever read the book, so even now when I read it I still envision Scrooge as Michael Caine and Bob Cratchit as Kermit the Frog (by the way,
The Muppet Christmas Carol and
Scrooged are hands down the best Christmas films ever, don't even talk to me about
Elf!)
