A Christmas Carol

This is one of those stories that you hear about from the very earliest age. You see it in cartoons, you watch different film adaptations, you read early "how to read" books with brightly coloured pictures, you watch animated and animal versions. And yet, how often do you read the real thing? Well, I did, eventually, and it did not disappoint.

Another conscience pricker. How many chains do we add to our burden every day, how many ways can we cut off our chains in life?
