167 year old humbug

Happy Birthday to “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, published on December 19, 1843. 
A ‘ghosty tale’ from another time and place. - Christmas fiction or is it? 
`At this festive season of the year, … Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir.'
Caregivingly Yours, Patrick Leer

  1. Many of the social inequities about which Dickens wrote are sadly still with us today!
    Peace,
