Christmas and Dickens Lift Spirits Across a Victorian Christmas
A nostalgic Christmas meditation ties Dickens to holiday cheer. The essay recalls Scrooge and Cratchit scenes, Fezziwig mischief, and Tiny Tim’s plea for generosity. It celebrates Christmas Present as shared warmth, charity, and fellowship from Pickwick to Wardle and the Six Poor Travelers.
