A sketch from one of my favorite stories.

"a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint,... secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster."

Mickey's Christmas Carol - 9/10

Christmas Vacation is my favorite Christmas movie, but this is my personal favorite Christmas special. Gave birth to the Scrooge McDuck character, and made a succinct and entertaining adaptation of the Dicken's story in just half an hour.

I love this happy illustration by Norman Rockwell of a Victorian couple dancing. It was painted for the December cover of The Saturday Evening Post in 1928. It reminds me of Mr. Fezziwig from Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

My version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.  
I’ve just listened to a very good episode of In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg on Radio 4. Melvyn and the panel discuss A Christmas Carol and the history of Dickens’ writing it.

Scrooge: “You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”

Dickens gioca con i sensi,il profumo del dolce sulla tavola,la consapevolezza degli odori,con il recupero dei ricordi.Niente è più evocativo degli odori,e finalmente il trascorrere del tempo trova un senso.

Smoking Bishop is a type of mulled wine, punch or wassail. It was especially popular in Victorian England at Christmas time and it is mentioned in Dickens' story A Christmas Carol.
