A Christmas Carol - a bit of my celebration

Catching up after a busy three days where to get the blip on the card was as much as I could do; no time to post. So here's Mono Monday's blip - bit late but as part of my Christmas celebration each year is to read 'A Christmas Carol' here it is. It would be a pity to miss the 100th Mono Monday!
If I finish the best known story before the holiday is over I'll read one of Dickens's other Christmas stories; plenty to go out in the three volumes.
I'll also be returning to my usual early morning browse.
Thanks to Skeena for hosting and apologies for tardiness.
