We believe the by-gone era of reading the best of Christmas makes for a better Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Christmas Carol<\/em> is a tradition that has thrilled the world since first published in 1843.<\/p>\n<p>While many people traditionally watch movie adaptations of the story as part of their Christmas traditions others find great joy in reading it.<\/p>\n<p>There is a flavor to the Victorian-era English as it is written and the storytelling genius of <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/charles-dickens-a-merry-old-soul\/\">Charles Dickens<\/a> is something of a tradition in and of itself to enjoy. Simply put, nothing beats reading it as part of your holiday traditions.<\/p>\n<p>While <em>A Christmas Carol<\/em> is technically a short story it can still be somewhat time consuming to be read. To help with our 21st century sensibilities in that regard we have broken down the story into daily bite size pieces. If followed it only take 19 days of brief reading to complete it.<\/p>\n<p>Even that might seem for some a bit to commit to. However, a two-hour movie or even a performance of A Christmas Carol is usually considered time well invest. Not long after the story was published Charles Dickens would perform it himself, doing all the parts and voices, in a dramatic readings to packed audiences. For decades this was a Christmas tradition in both Britain and America.<\/p>\n<p>In reading the story as Dickens wrote it you will no doubt walk away not only with a new appreciation of the story but also with the following observations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You will hear the voice of Dickens<\/strong> &#8211; The story has a descriptive narrative that is missing from most movies, radio dramas and stage productions. It is the voice of the writer, Charles Dickens. He is very conversation and descriptive. You&#8217;ll like him and his voice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You will recognize dialogue and characters<\/strong> &#8211; The story is so familiar to us and has been presented to us so completely that as you read you will no doubt hear the voices or see the faces of familiar actors. Many adaptations have tried to stay true to the original manuscript, so there will be much that is familiar to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Missed details will stand out to you<\/strong> &#8211; No film or movie can cover every detail of the narrator. There is a richness and a depth to the story that has been missed, no matter the best efforts of directors and producers. This can only come from reading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The &#8220;theater of the mind&#8221; is far more effective than any movie<\/strong> &#8211; you will become quickly engrossed in the detail, taken back in time to an era when people talked a little differently and behaved with greater regard for others. You will feel their emotion, especially coming from Scrooge and Marley<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reading <em>A Christmas Carol<\/em> may build a new tradition for you. Some read it every year without tiring of it. Some begin their Christmas season by reading it again. That is because, and perhaps this is why it has so endured, you will feel the Christmas Spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mexiyiuv-ee204443408e59bc5c9cdcca02e9fba8\">\n.flex_column.av-mexiyiuv-ee204443408e59bc5c9cdcca02e9fba8{\nwidth:49.5%;\nmargin-left:1%;\nborder-width:3px;\nborder-color:#21601f;\nborder-style:solid;\nborder-radius:20px 20px 20px 20px;\npadding:25px 25px 25px 25px;\nbackground-color:#f4f4f4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-mexiyiuv-ee204443408e59bc5c9cdcca02e9fba8 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mexj0wps-3449e69c62852e4ee913486f41e80181\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mexj0wps-3449e69c62852e4ee913486f41e80181{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#216622;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mexj0wps-3449e69c62852e4ee913486f41e80181 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mexj0wps-3449e69c62852e4ee913486f41e80181 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#216622;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mexj0wps-3449e69c62852e4ee913486f41e80181 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mexj0wps-3449e69c62852e4ee913486f41e80181 av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading  avia-builder-el-6  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >A Christmas Carol \u2013 Chapters<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mexiwnvt-6d8d2306b39785c1e28ff44bb9b10b4d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Stave One &#8211;
