Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” has been my favorite Christmas classic since I was a child. And as the great classics often do, the work has taken on different meanings to me depending on the season in my life. When I was a child, it was more of a ghost story than a conversion story. And the mystical feeling has stayed with me on Christmas Eves since my childhood. This year, the most prominent themes in the classic were the power of joy and the tradition of memories at Christmastime.
