No Christmas is complete without the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge being visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve.
The message Charles Dickens conveys is simply this: we are all human beings and therefore should treat each person equally no matter what their rank or stature. Additionally, it is important to be there for others in their times of need. When people have others that support and encourage them, it makes the rough road a little easier to navigate.
This tale hits especially close to home in our current state of economic crisis. This is the time to help others. Join a volunteer group or charity organization. You can help make a difference in someone's life.
