If you’re like me, you’ve noticed something quite interesting about Hallmark Christmas Movies – they reference the classic story ‘A Christmas Carol’ in so many creative ways.
First and foremost, we have the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. These ethereal beings play a crucial role in ‘A Christmas Carol’ by showing the main character, Ebeneezer Scrooge, the errors of his ways and the consequences of his actions. In Hallmark movies, we see similar characters guiding the protagonists towards a realization of what really matters in life. From a guardian angel to a magical Christmas ornament, these apparitions serve to remind us of the importance of cherishing the present and not taking our loved ones for granted.
Of course, we can’t talk about ‘A Christmas Carol’ without mentioning the man who created it – Charles Dickens. His name often pops up in Hallmark movies as a nod to the literary masterpiece that inspired so many heartwarming tales. Whether it’s a character reading from his book or a mention of his work, Dickens is a subtle yet significant presence in Christmas movies.
And let’s not forget about the iconic character of Ebeneezer Scrooge himself. While not always explicitly stated, many Hallmark movie protagonists share traits with this infamous miser-turned-reformed-man. They may start off as workaholics or cynics, but through the magic of the holiday season, they learn to open their hearts and embrace the true meaning of Christmas.
Finally, we have the quotes from ‘A Christmas Carol’ that are sprinkled throughout Hallmark movies. Lines like “God bless us, everyone!” and “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year” have become synonymous with the holiday season. Hearing them in a Hallmark movie only adds to the warm, fuzzy feelings that come with this time of year.
Hallmark movies have found creative ways to pay homage to this classic story, and it only adds to the charm and magic of the holiday season.
This edition of the classic novel is truly stunning. It’s got a fabric cover with beautiful illustrations from the story. Plus, the cloth-covered boards and binding give it a luxurious feel. It looks fabulous on my bookshelf, and it’s something I can pull out every year to enjoy the story.
The illustrations are the highlight of this edition. They’re vivid and detailed, and they bring the characters to life. I love how Scrooge is portrayed as a mean old man, and the ghost of Christmas Past looks almost haunting. The illustrations really do add magic to the story.
The Calla Edition of ‘A Christmas Carol’ is a great addition to any home. It’s the perfect decoration for the holiday season and adds a touch of elegance to any bookshelf. Plus, it’s a great way to get the whole family together to enjoy a classic story.
