The celebration 'A Christmas Carol' in some part of the media has remained an unvarying Yuletide tradition for many decades. A firm Christmas favourite since its first publication in 1843, Dickens' tale of an old embittered miser, whose Christmas epiphany turns him from greed and loneliness to largesse and love, still rings true after 150 years. At one level the tale is a personal story of one man's spiritual journey, but the book has been seen by some as another example of Dickens' damning indictment of Victorian London, where money and material gain were paramount, and the destitute condemned to the cold comfort of the Work House.
