Last
week
I
heard
Dickens'

under-fed
gocse
and
found
it
Christmas
Carol
a
part
of
it
and
would
be
almost
ashamed
to
admit
how
moved
I
was
by
it.
It
was
better
than
hearing
it
for
the
first
time
for,
like
Christmas
itself,
its
very
familiarity
and
repetition
makes
it
more
wonderful.
Somehow,
I
found
the
whole
Christmas
Spirit
wrapped
in
it
to
the
extent
that
I
forgot
how
niuch
too

there
is
