Christmas Countdown #25 envelopes /20 : Dickens' Christmas

  20 December Christmas Countdown #25envelopes - Dickens’ Christmas . In the next few days , I’ll be taking my copy of’ A Christmas Carol’ from the bookcase for its annual reading . What would Christmas be like without Dickens? One of the favourite Christmas stories of all time, A Christmas Carol  recounts the story of  Ebenezer Scrooge , an elderly  miser  who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner  Jacob Marley  and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. Today’s envelope does not include a portrait of Charles Dickens- it is just a collage attempting to recreate the atmosphere of the author’s novels . However, those British spostage stamps are modern!
