Charles Dickens', A Christmas Carol, is the most popular Christmas play of the season. There is something so captivating about the story. Scrooge begins by declaring Christmas is a humbug, a fraud. Instinctively people have a visceral reaction to such a thought. Everything from the lights, the decorations, the music, and the food tell us there is something special about this season. However, what truly makes Christmas special is the true light from heaven – Jesus Christ.
