“A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens exemplifies a timeless classic. The novella was published in 1843 and has captured readers' hearts for generations. The story is so entangled with the winter holidays that it has inspired numerous adaptations on all types of media and has become an integral part of the Western literary canon.

Set in Victorian London, the story revolves around the life of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. This man is so heartless and consumed by his greed that he does not comprehend the amount of suffering various people surrounding him endure. On one fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is met by the ghost of his late business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of his ultimate fate and the arrival of three ghosts: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

One of the things that makes A Christmas Carol a timeless classic is its multilayered thematic background. The novella is a story of redemption, compassion, and the true spirit of the winter celebration. The book’s central theme revolves around the idea that it is never too late to reform, rekindle old relationships, and allow the sheer warmth of giving to enter one’s life.

Another captivating part of the novella is the word-image of Victorian London. The city, with its grimy streets and impoverished neighbourhoods, is presented vividly through the eyes of the novel’s protagonists. Scrooge’s interactions with Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and the Fezziwig family stress the importance of human connection and love for others regardless of societal discrepancy.

However, the most essential thing in A Christmas Carol is the genuine, multi-faceted, and memorable characters. With his famous catchphrase, “Bah, humbug!” Scrooge has surpassed the barrier between the book’s pages and has become an idiom for many English speakers. Nevertheless, it is not only the comic character that contributes to the novella’s attraction. He is a bonus fide protagonist who changes from the unfeeling older man into the giver. His transformation is the biblical process, symbolised by Marley and the three ghosts that appear to Scrooge. Past takes him down the memory path; Present presents the wonders of Christmas and the importance of family and friends, while Yet to Come is a dark mirror of the future if Scrooge continues his selfish way.

The book is also language-rich and story-rich. Charles Dickens’ elegant prose and brilliant storytelling completely incorporate the reader into the narration's spirit.

A Christmas Carol is still a gem that spins and always hits home. It epitomizes the real meaning of Christmas, encapsulates the need for one another during the celebration, and most profoundly speaks of an individual's capability to reach new extremes of generosity.

#FolkloreThursday: Christmas (Final Part III) 🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS So, where ever you may be, and whatever traditions you follow, we wish you the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of holidays! The end of December was a perfect time for celebration in most areas of Europe. At that time of year, most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter. For many, it was the only time of year when they had a supply of fresh meat. In addition, most wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking. If you are anything like us here, you are eagerly anticipating the extra-long holiday weekend. As our gift to you, we want to send you off with some fun Christmas. Please feel free to use them for interesting conversation starters at your gatherings. (You’re welcome).

Mi manca vagare per le vie del centro, vedere tutte quelle luci e quelle vetrine natalizie, guardare le persone passeggiare sorridenti e stringersi per non soffrire il freddo...

As Christmas approaches, the streets have changed. The spirit of Christmas is very present in Malta, the decorations are beautiful, Christmas songs are played in the streets. Maltese people love to celebrate Christmas. At work we celebrated Christmas twice. For the second time, a big party was organized for the company in a big hotel in St Julian. 

It's not easy to spend the holidays away from my family but Maltese people are very open-minded, and I am lucky to share my apartment with great flatmates.

Tonight is Twelfth Night - my saddest day of the year. It’s the last day of my Christmas break and the day I take down all the Christmas lights and decorations, leaving behind dark corners and strangely naked bannisters, doors and windowsills... For one last hurrah, here are some of my favourite things from this Christmas: my Happy Chicken, a gorgeously pouffy #pudding #pompom made by my friend Sue, one of the sumptuous #winterfloral displays at #wightwickmanor and finally a pantomime-themed bracelet watched over by @trollbeadsofficial #spiritofchristmas... 🐓🎄🎁🎅🐝 (Happy Chicken chart available from £3.50 on www.bluecoppice.com) #bluecoppice #miniaturemotifs https://www.instagram.com/p/B68x7RMp6g8/?igshid=1r28zto6fds5z
