Of the many literary works about Christmas, none have ever garnered the legacy of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". The story of a mean and greedy business man, who learns to treat his fellow man with kindness and compassion and generosity by learning the true meaning of Christmas, with the aid of some scary ghosts, the book is a true classic, one inspired by ghost legends, effective storytelling tropes from centuries past, and Dickens' own experiences!
