A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
*No-spoiler Alert* A gothic novella which doesn't scare but teaches to love and spread smiles! A timeless Christmas classic with a spirit of love and giving. A stern, dry, skinflint Mr. Scrooge is paid visitations from his long-lost friend Marley and the spirits of Past, Present, Future during Christmas eve. These encounters mellow down his hardened spirit and renders a change of heart. He becomes happy as an angel, merry as a schoolboy and as giddy as a drunken man. In short, he is altered from a hardened monster into a human which we all are supposed to be. A totally splendid light-hearted one-sitting read. "I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future." 5 stars for this. Shall read it every Christmas from this year onwards.
