DAY 7 CHRISTMAS & CHARLES DICKENS
When you go to this site, you will realize what an impact Charles Dickens had on society in England and in how Christmas is celebrated!
Dickens needed money because his wife was again pregnant and so he began writing the book in October of 1843. It was finished 6 weeks later and finally published on 19 Dcember 1843 and was an instant hit! Please find the time to read this wikipedia selection. It will enlighten you!
There have been many movie versions of A Christmas Carol...pictured here are my 2 favorites.
Today's Song: God Bless Us Everyone by Andrea Bocelli (which is the ending song to Walt Disney's A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey) hear a sample at this site:
Charles Dickens also wrote a great essay entitled "What Christmas Is as We Grow Older"..which can be found on this site:
happy reading!
