A Christmas Carol is the classic that has remained a universal Christmas story which has a practical teaching and learning for everyone irrespective of age.
The sky looks beautiful, like the icing on a cake, and as the snow falls, it decks us up for the finest time in the year. There is joy in each heart and a spring in every step, carols in everyone’s ears, and Christmas cheer in the air.
As the spirit of Christmas comes alive, and kindness and benevolence overflows in each of our hearts, I remember the story by Charles Dickens – ‘A Christmas Carol’.
One of my favourite selection of gifts for senior citizens and youngsters are Christmas Books that contain a learning message. Those books that convey a message are my favourites.
It was a time when the penury stricken, talented author Charles Dickens needed money to survive and support his family. This beautiful creation and masterpiece of the writer continues to delight its readers all around the world. It is bought in dozens for public reading, libraries and gifts. It revokes the action of benevolence and imbibes the thoughts of brotherhood and good will.

LOL. You didn't have to to do that. But since you did, I colored in the dot that said "All of the Above". :)
@cmoneyspinner - I have added one more option to the poll, considering your input.
@AbbyFitz - One of my favourites too, it has the right message and the way it is conveyed in the story is beautiful.
@Mira - Most of the time, I search for a good video that contains my story or has something pertaining to the story I want to depict. Glad I got a match and you liked it.
@ologsinquito - You said it - the greed is the defilement that kills humanity.
WriterArtist, "A Christmas Carol" is a Christmas tradition for many. The Victorian illustrations are always enchanting and amplify the attraction of this favorite tale by the compassionate storyteller, Charles Dickens.
Arthur Hughes is one of my favorite pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood artists, so I'm happy to see that you included his painting amongst your selections. Thank you!
You can't celebrate the Christmas holiday without including "A Christmas Carol" in some form - cartoon, book, movie, etc. Couldn't take the poll because I consider the Dicken's work all 3: a classic read, a Christmas story, and a moral story.
This my absolute favorite story. I never get tired of watching the movie. My favor tips with Patrick Stewart
Thank you for including a video as well. It's quite nice! I have started it now and plan on watching the whole thing tomorrow.
