Christmas Carol....one of my favourite during my childhood days and even today.One of the many story from Charles Dickens.An 1843 novel and it always remind me of Christmas....Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ebenezer Scrooge is the principal character in this novel.At the beginning of the novel, Scrooge is a cold-hearted, tight-fisted and greedy man, who despises Christmas and all things which give people happiness. Dickens describes him thus: "The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue, and he spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice ..."
His last name has come into the English language as a byword for miserliness and misanthropy, traits displayed by Scrooge in the exaggerated manner for which Dickens is well-known. The tale of his redemption by the three Ghosts of Christmas (Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come) has become a defining tale of the Christmas holiday. Scrooge's catchphrase, "Bah, humbug!" is often used to express disgust with many of the modern Christmas traditions.
He is still alive today in many children's and grown up mind , where its remain and start to kindle our thought when Christmas is around the Conner.
Merry Christmas.
