Christmas wouldn’t be the same without the influence of Charles Dickens and his most famous work: A Christmas Carol. Some have even gone as far as saying he basically “invented” Christmas as we know it today. So…did he? Let’s ask him!
Special thanks to Denise Lamott, Kevin Patterson, Robert Young, and everyone at the Great Dickens Christmas Fair for allowing me to come and record.
