God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen. Bonus! Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol

We take a little break from our reading list this week for some holiday cheer: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens!

I thought I knew this one inside out, which was ridiculous because I had never actually read it. (When will I learn?!) This is a punchy little novel, and you can read it aloud over the course of less than a week with your kids. I hope with this episode to offer a little reassurance and inspiration: You can do this, and you'll be so glad you did.

I end with a little discussion of some of the movie adaptations--there are so many! And we will be back next week with Week 39 and a ton of American lit.
