Thanks to the muppets this was like reading something I'd read before. I'm glad it was how I expected it to be. I find some of Dickens other books a tad boring, not this one! I love the story of A Christmas Carol. This is a book that could be read every Christmas time. I love this sentence "Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!" That has to be read aloud. A heart warming Christmas treat :)
