Christmas Carol is a classic Victorian-era novella written by Charles Dickens in 1843. It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold-hearted and miserly businessman who is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come. The ghosts show him the consequences of his selfishness, and he learns the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of charity and generosity. The story has become a beloved Christmas tradition, and its themes of redemption, forgiveness, and compassion continue to resonate with readers around the world.
