Scrooge the grumbling loner

It´s again Christmastime !
If you want to read a nice Christmas story or if you need an adequate present, yet, you are right here.
This blog will be the perfect blog for you to read.

The book "A Christmas Carol" written by Charles Dickens is a wonderful and famous Christmas story, which was often staged. It´s proper for children.
Scrooge the main character of the book is a lonely, hard working old guy, who hates Christmas. His nephew, who loves Christmas, wants him to come to their family Christmas evening. But Scrooge only says "Bah! What a humbug! Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart."

The grumbling character of Scrooge reminds me of my grandfather, who also doesn´t like Christmas and hasn´t many contacts to other people.

So far I like this book, but for German speaking readers the language is sometimes quite difficult, bacause Charles Dickens used a lot of uncommon words.
(175 words)
