If you can't get into the Christmas spirit with the Christmas Carol there's a problem. One of my favorites.

Disney ruined me.
I've seen Mickey's Christmas Carol maybe 50 times in my 40 years. It became the perfect version for me, and I love it so much.
Not even the original story can make me feel differently.
I liked it, but definitely not as much as I hoped.

I listened to this audiobook on Scribd, but don’t see the same cover; Anton Lesser was a wonderful narrator, beautifully brought this lovely story to life.
