This is a classic in the UK. Since I didn’t grow up here I never read it as a child. So for this Christmas I decided to change that. I enjoyed the glimpse into 19th century London that Dickens tends to give the reader in his books. I think the takeaways from the book are still as applicable as in 1843. Be generous to your friends and family. Don’t hoard money for the sake of it. Approach your environment in a positive, friendly, and open-minded manner and it will be reflected back to you.
