Every part of this resonated. The homemade Christmas tree (we always had a wonderfully-mismatched, beautifully-ours tree growing up), the love of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (we watch the old version every Christmas Eve and I cry every time), and most of all the lesson to stop and celebrate — whatever that looks like. Thank you for writing this! May it be ever as applicable in February as it is in December.
I read A Christmas Carol every Christmas Eve, and I always did wonder about Scrooge’s interesting name, but never troubled myself to look it up. Thank you! This post was fascinating!
We empty nesters have only one memorial stone that we share with our kids--listening to Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas CD's--our kids grew up with them in the 90's and we played them every Christmas.
Also, I loved Samantha Silva's book about Dickens' Christmas Carol--the movie from it, "The Man Who Saved Christmas" is a favorite.
