Watching the lovely 1951 film adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol (the one with the incomparable Alastair Sim as Scrooge) is a holiday ritual for us, but reading other Christmas stories by Charles Dickens is one too — many of which are also ghost stories. Meant to be read aloud, these are wonderful to share with friends and family — perfect for listening to gathered around the fireplace or tree after Christmas dinner.
