"A Christmas Carol"
by Charles Dickens

{my yearly December 24th tradition}
(I read this book for the first time in 1962,
after the first broadcast of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.
Since then, I've read it every year around Christmas, but I don't
remember when I decided to make December 24th my day to read this
book.)
My copy of this book was one of the items lost when I moved,
so thank God for free online books!
