A Christmas Carol

Scrooge wasn't as bad a guy as everyone makes him out to be. He's just a grumpy old man. And his money is his; people's sense of entitlement to it frustrated me. But he didn't go out of his way to be a jerk. He wasn't actively seeking to ruin lives. Also he had a lonely childhood. Stands to reason he would be guarded with his heart so as not to get hurt again. I feel like he needed kindness not fear to change him. I really liked the concept behind Marley's chains. I thought that was pretty interesting. Overall, a good read but I probably won't read this every year like I know some people do.
