Keeping It All the Year

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach! “ – Scrooge, in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol

The images in this blog come from the first edition of A Christmas Carol, published in 1843. The marvelous illustrations are by John Leech.

Hannah and Alfred reflect on what it might mean to keep Christmas all the year.
