I've been wanting to go to that for years, but I've never yet made it! Weather or schedule conflicts or something else always gets in the way.

There is a wonderful new book just out, no longer than "A Christmas Carol," entitled "Eben Kruge: How 'A Christmas Carol' Came to be Written." It is about Charles Dickens at age thirty, and what inspired him to write the Christmas classic. www.ebenkruge.com. Check out the reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
