A Christmas Carol is an integral part of our Christmas tradition because it has a timeless, moral, spiritual and transformational relevance and value. Perhaps in a time when consumerism and monetary aspects of life dominate our daily lives, promising us a happiness that is not ever delivered, it is time to revisit the lessons of Scrooge’s transformation and discover the true path to happiness.
'I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.'
– Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
DICKENS’ CHARACTER (SCROOGE) TEACHES US ALL VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS
This year, A Christmas Carol, has, once again, an added political, socioeconomic and spiritual resonance.
“The mystery of Christmas,” said G K Chesterton, “is in a manner identical to the mystery of Dickens.”
If Charles Dickens were alive today, he’d have no trouble recognising modern-day Scrooges, those who want austerity for the many, tax cuts and prosperity for the few.
