On this day in 1843, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens was first published! Although the story was originally published with the intent of social activism, the story was rebranded as a ghost story to better appeal to the Victorian audience. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐ŸŽฉ

A Christmas Carol is easily the most well known ghost story but it also changed how we see Christmas. ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽ„It encouraged family gatherings, gift giving and most importantly, charity and kindness. In addition to the original story, best read out loud, there are over 100 film, television, and even ballet renditions to enjoy! How will you celebrate this notable anniversary? Do you have a favorite telling of the story?? ๐Ÿง

โ€œCome in and know me better man!โ€

The image of Santa Claus had evolved quite a bit over the years! ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿผ Based off St Nicholas, Victorians often pictured him in long priestly robes with fur trim. In fact, Charles Dickens modeled the Ghost of Christmas Present off of this jolly visitor who would reward good children with treats in their shoes on the eve of St Nicholas Day, celebrated on December 6th. It was another Victorian writer that gifted us the jolly ol elf! (Check out our stories for that one!). Whether visited by 3 ghosts, a cloven and horned beast, or Father Christmasโ€ฆ. the Victorians would certainly have a story waiting for them! ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽ„
