Christmas Classics

read How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss and Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol sometime this Christmas season. you'll be glad you did. How The Grinch Stole Christmas was first published in 1957. it inspired the classic cartoon and the Jim Carrey live-action film. you'll find it in the children's sections of libraries and bookstores, but there is nothing childish about it's message. the classic A Christmas Carol is from 1843, and has been retold many times in many ways. Dickens' tale is another beautiful tale of transformation. Christmas would not be the same without these stories. alongside the Gospels accounts of the Christmas narrative, these two books are Christmas essentials. so much so that the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge have become more than literary characters. they have become symbols of the wonderful transforming power of Christmas.
