As I have been sewing today, I began listening to the audio version of A Christmas Carol (from Librivox) and have been reveling in the best things about Dickens, and memories of former encounters with Scrouge.
When I was in high school, my brother Jeff, who was then in junior high school, starred as Scrouge in a junior high version of the play. It was a revelation to me, not just of the wonder of the work, but of the amazing ability of my little brother. I was amazed at the gift God had given him to act, as he made all the other kids look like, well, kids, and he looked like a pro!
The first time we read A Christmas Carol aloud as a family, our own Tiny Tim began having nightmares, and we had to stop mid-ghost, and try again a few years later.
These lovely memories remind me today that we are rounding the Thanksgiving bend and heading full-steam into Christmas. What a lovely turning of the year!
