A Christmas Carol Costume
“A Christmas Carol” was written by Charles Dickens in 1843, and quickly became the most popular book of the holiday season that year. Six thousand copies were sold by Christmas and within two months after publication, eight stage adaptations were in the works. Today, “A Christmas Carol” continues to be one of the most popular stories of the Christmas season, with more than 200 film versions and countless stage productions of this popular tale. Nearly everyone is familiar with Dickens’ book in one form or another.
“A Christmas Carol”
is the story of a man named Ebeneezer Scrooge, who was a lonely old miser with
more money than he knew what to do with – primarily because he refused to
spend or share a single penny of it. Throughout the course of the story, after
visits from three spirits, Scrooge realizes that charity and generosity are a
much more attractive way of life than hoarding money, and he learns that he can
keep the true spirit of Christmas alive all year long through following these
principles.
Dickens wrote this book during a time when social classes, unfair working conditions and impoverished children were a way of life. He was very involved in social issues throughout his life, and found ways to make a social and moral statement in his writing. “A Christmas Carol” addresses these issues in a beautifully written tale that is as entertaining as it is concerned with social justice. The lessons learned in this story have been significant for generations, and the moral of the story is just as relevant today as it was in Dickens’ time.
