December 19, 1843 - Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol hits bookstores. The Christmas staple novella tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, whose name is now synonymous with a person who is a cheapskate.
Scrooge meets the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come on his journey to reform his greedy ways and learn to become a giving and loving person. A Christmas Carol has never fallen out of print. It's been adapted for the stage and screen many times in many ways. Some critics believe the 1951 version starring Alastair Sim is one of the best.
kacyds , Thanks for posting, this is a beautiful set of stamps, something to add to my collection in the future.
My main collecting interest is the Fire Service (stamps, First Day Covers, postcards and slogans). I also collect Birds, Lighthouses, Civil War, Frogs, Rugby and Mills. My country collections are South Africa, Australia and Rhodesia. It never stops adding on. I would consider myself more of a topical collector.
