    I like the DVD better than the written version of a Christmas Carol. Because I pay more attention to the DVD. When I read a book I read it but I think about a lot more then the book and then I don’t know what it is about.

Some of the differences I found were. In the movie it didn’t say anything about Marley

    The 1977 version of “A Christmas Carol” by BBC is a very accurate rendition of the book it was based on by Charles Dickens written in 1843.

The short movie mirrored the book in so many ways that only really small details were left out such as Scrooge going to the tavern to get his dinner

    Concert Report On Thursday‚ December 24th of last year I attended the Christmas Carol Service held by the Cathedral of the Madeleine in downtown Salt Lake.

The organ completed the whole feel and mood of the songs; it made them more meaningful and enjoyable. The accompaniment added an element to the music that made it sound more dramatic and it
