In America, Christmas is still only one day! I have known people for whom (in Scotland) it was still a normal working day. |

You would think they could actually get the bell to move. Te point is, it rings without moving!! They all do. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Have you 2 seen many of the other versions of this? A couple. Nothing like the atmosphere of this. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I think this one captures more of the unpleasantness of society as Dickens saw it than the more modern versions.
