Matt and I read "A Christmas Carol" for the first time over the holidays. There was so much detail in "A Christmas Carol" that never comes out in any of the movie renditions I've seen. I realize I shouldn't be too shocked by this, but I figured it was such a short book they would be able to fit in all of the details. Like how the ghosts were really good about using Scrooge's own words against him, or how awesome his nephew is, or how people would have robbed his grave in the fu
ture. Or that there's other quotes besides "God bless us every one!" For example:
“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
“Merry Christmas! What right have you to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? You’re poor enough.” “Come, then,” returned the nephew gaily. “What right have you to be dismal? What reason have you to be morose? You’re rich enough.”
“Darkness was cheap, and Scrooge liked it.”
