    I need to write an essay? Oh no. To that I say "Bah, humbug!" Seriously, I enjoy the story A Christmas Carol tremendously.

    This is by far the best lens I have read around Squidoo. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
    Nothing better to say about Dickens than how Stephen King described him: The Shakespeare of the Novel.

    Well Done!.. from your latest fan.

    Nephew Fred is an interesting and uplifting character. He lost his mom (Scrooge's sister) at a young age. He has as his only living relative an uncle in Ebenezer Scrooge, a man who barely acknowledgs his existence.

    Fred is not a wealthy man monetarily, yet he gives happily to a collection for the poor at Scrooge's office. Fred resists the pleas of his wife and invites his uncle every year to his home for Christmas dinner.

    Fred represents the good people of mankind. People who, despite hardships and difficulties, keep their spirits high and their attitudes positive. He looks for the good in people.

    It is for reasons such as these, that individuals like Nephew Fred keep the Spirit of Christmas alive. Let's hope that this Christmas, because of the hard economic times in which we live, we try to be a little more like Fred.

    Bravo, bravo on your thoughts about Nephew Fred! Yes, I believe we could use a few more Freds in the world. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! =D

    Bob Cratchet is a slat of the earth type man, who loves his family and will do what he has to do to care for them.

    Nice selection of lesson plans for Dickens Christmas Carol. Might be interesting to tie into the Christmas break with my kids. :) Very nice!

    I love the Christmas Carol. We watch it between football games every Thanksgiving. It reminds us to keep Christ in the center of our Christmas celibrations.

    Isn't it amazing how many times and in how many ways this story has been retold? I like the scripture you shared with Mr. Scrouge! How appropriate.
  • stargazer00 Nov 3, 2009 @ 4:14 pm | delete
    I believe the new Christmas Carol movie will be in 3D. The new 3D is very good now and our local theater just got a 3D projector so we'll probably go see it. Lesson plans for this are timely!

    Great idea for a lens. Thanks for stopping by my Teacher Gift lens. I think I'm going to lensroll this one there.

    What a wonderful resource for teachers. I remember doing lesson plans when I was in college. The internet and Squidoo sure would have been handy way back then ('70's).

    You put a lot of work into this lens.

    This is a great idea for a lens.
