But this year, everything is about to change… Mr.
Yet, she’s also frozen at 17 while her family and friends go on without her. So now, three years later, she’s the new Ghost of Christmas Past, sent to save another miserly grouch. She, too, was visited by three ghosts who tried to show her the error of her ways…but she didn’t listen. This YA novel reimagines Scrooge as Holly, an undead 17-year-old. The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand Something about winter and the holiday season seems to bring about personal introspection, and in these stories, the opportunity for positive change. The themes of this story can be seen in other holiday classics like It’s A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and the recent film Last Christmas. Another ongoing appeal is its suggestion that nobody is beyond hope that perhaps, with a reminder of who we used to be and a warning of how we might turn out, anyone is capable of redemption.
What is it about A Christmas Carol that continues to captivate audiences? Part is its memorable cadre of characters: Scrooge himself, Tiny Tim, all of those weird and wonderful ghosts. The numerous film versions, featuring stars from the Muppets to Susan Lucci to Guy Pearce, continue to resonate with modern audiences. Originally part of the Victorian tradition to share ghost stories at Christmastime, the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge’s redemption has become the backbone of numerous other holiday classics. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has been a classic part of the holiday season since its publication in 1843.
