“A Christmas Carol” – Hope for All Times
The ubiquity of “A Christmas Carol” is proof that its message of hope resonates with many. If we’re honest, some days we all identify a little with first-act Scrooge, yet we all have a dream to be our best selves. “A Christmas Carol” promises us that things can be better—that we can be better—if we take the time to listen and look inward.
