What Christmas is when we grow older by Charles Dickens
Do you remember the opening lines from "Christmas Carol". We can change the first word - the name of the main character and paraphrase: Christmas was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.
In his short Christmas stories Dickens wants to revive the spirit of true Christmas. He spent a lot of time to teach us what is Christmas all about. The story below is also such a lesson. Gratitude and forgiveness - these are the virtues we should have in mind celebrating.
