I favored the DVD over the written version of A Christmas Carol. Short stories and novels are not as interesting in my opinion. The book had a much darker tone throughout it.

style… In the air‚ there’s a feeling of Christmas…” My favorite holiday has always been Christmas. I love everything about it! One of the best things about Christmastime is that we get such a long time off from school. In addition to that‚ my family flies back home to Pennsylvania in December‚ so we always get to see snow.
