Did you know that Christmas was almost lost to us during Victorian times, and it's revival was due to the novel of one man, Charles Dickens and his story of A Christmas Carol. We discuss the history of Christmas ghost stories and how Charles Dickens changed Christmas and the social landscape for the poor classes. Be sure to watch the YouTube version and see John dressed up as Jacob Marley!
