The 2017 film The Man Who Invented Christmas, starring human treasure Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens, is a lovely bit of an anachronistic historical revisionism (though, to be fair, it gets a number of things right both in fact and in, pardon the pun, spirit). But it also perpetuates an increasingly popular myth - that Charles Dickens...well...invented Christmas. At least, that is, Christmas as we think of it today. There are a lot of reasons why this seems true, and, yes, Dicken's A Christmas Carol played an enormous role in a Victorian revival and redefining of Christmas - but that revival was happening with him or without him. So we decided to take a closer look at Victorian society in the 1940s and exam how religious - or not - Dickens and A Christmas Carol actually were. Kelly and John invited Victorianist ⁠Kristen Hanley Cardozo⁠ to share some of her expertise and talk about spirits, Scrooges, and the real reasons for the season.

Why does Christmas bring out the ghosts? This hour, we dig into the world of Charles Dickens and Mark Twain, and the Victorian obsession with spiritualism that shaped so many holiday tales. We also explore two Connecticut productions of A Christmas Carol to see how performers keep this annual tradition fresh.

Kitty Reads Lit for Peace: Charles Dickens – A Christmas Carol plus The Next Peacelands In today's holiday edition, Kitty O'Compost reads a short, seasonally grounded passage from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol—his mid-career meditation on generosity, personal transformation, and the moral imagination required to change one's life. Kitty offers only a brief excerpt, enough to settle listeners into the thoughtful clarity Dickens brought to questions of compassion and social responsibility. These December readings are part of Kitty's warm-up for The Peace Experiments: Experiment Zero, the new Peace Is Here series launching on New Year's Day. The episode closes with a special holiday version of The Next Peacelands. Instead of the usual real-time list of warzones and weapons suppliers, this month's practice offers the names of spiritual and humanitarian organizations working quietly and steadily for peace around the world—an invitation to join your intention with theirs during this reflective season.

The curator and executive director of the AKC Museum of the Dog recalls one owned by Charles Dickens. "It was a Maltese that was so flea-ridden, they regularly had to shave him and bathe him to get rid of all the fleas." The dog, not Dickens. I think.

Dirigida por Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, Cruce de caminos), Roofman: un ladrón en el tejado se inspira en hechos reales para reconstruir la insólita historia de Jeffrey Manchester, un delincuente meticuloso y casi invisible que logró robar decenas de restaurantes accediendo por los tejados y ocultándose en falsos techos. Protagonizada por Channing Tatum, junto a Kirsten Dunst y Ben Mendelsohn, la película transita con soltura entre el thriller y la comedia negra, evitando la idealización del criminal para centrarse en su ingenio, su soledad y la fascinación mediática que despierta su figura. Cianfrance imprime un tono ligero y melancólico a la vez, convirtiendo el relato de robos en un retrato de la América invisible, donde el talento y la obsesión se confunden con la necesidad de desaparecer. Min 15: FRONTERA (2,5 estrellas) Frontera, dirigida por Judith Colell (Elisa K, Nosotras), es un poderoso thriller histórico que recupera un episodio apenas contado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial desde la perspectiva española: en 1943, cuando miles de judíos huían de la represión nazi por los Pirineos, un funcionario de aduanas con pasado republicano interpretado por Miki Esparbé, junto a María Rodríguez Soto y Asier Etxeandía, se enfrenta a la orden de bloquear su paso y decide, contra todo pronóstico y bajo constante riesgo, ayudarles a cruzar la frontera hacia una esperanza de libertad, desafiando al régimen franquista y poniendo en juego la seguridad de su familia y su pueblo. Min 22: REY DE REYES (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por el cineasta surcoreano Jang Seong-ho, Rey de Reyes es una ambiciosa película de animación coproducida entre Corea del Sur y Estados Unidos que reinterpreta la vida de Jesucristo a partir de La vida de Nuestro Señor, el cuento que Charles Dickens escribió para su hijo, combinando respeto por el texto original con una puesta en escena épica y accesible al público familiar. Con las voces protagonistas de Oscar Isaac como Jesús, junto a Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman y Mark Hamill, la película articula un relato clásico apoyado en un cuidado apartado visual que mezcla sensibilidad oriental y espectacularidad occidental, poniendo el acento en valores universales como la compasión, el sacrificio y la redención. Min 27: BALEARIC (2 estrellas) Dirigida por Ion de Sosa (Sueñan los androides, Mamántula), Balearic es una arriesgada fábula cinematográfica que mezcla drama, suspense y crítica social dentro de una narración que transcurre en la víspera de San Juan, cuando un grupo de adolescentes —interpretados por Lara Gallo, Elías Hwidar, Ada Tormo y Paula Gala— decide colarse en la piscina de una lujosa villa y acaba atrapado por tres feroces perros que desatan un espiral de tensión. Min 29: LA VIDA FUERA (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por Mario Martone (Leopardi, Il giovane favoloso), La vida fuera (Fuori) es un drama biográfico que reconstruye con delicadeza y pasión la vida de la escritora Goliarda Sapienza, interpretada por Valeria Golino, acompañada por Matilda De Angelis, Elodie y Corrado Fortuna, en un relato que transcurre en la Roma de 1980 y se centra en la detención de Sapienza tras un acto impulsivo, su paso por prisión y el profundo vínculo que forja con jóvenes reclusas que cambiarán su visión sobre la vida y la escritura, empujándola a recuperar la alegría de vivir y el impulso creativo que la definió como una de las voces literarias más originales de Italia. Min 32: FRAGMENTOS (2,5 estrellas) Fragmentos es un drama psicológico rodado íntegramente en Lanzarote que explora las grietas emocionales de una familia contemporánea a través de la mirada introspectiva de Emma Suárez, en el papel de una madre cuya vida aparentemente estable se resquebraja tras un accidente que la obliga a enfrentarse a sus recuerdos, duelos no resueltos y relaciones tensas con su entorno. Min 34: REESTRENO DE LOS GOONIES. 40 aniversario Con motivo de su 40º aniversario, Los Goonies —la entrañable aventura juvenil dirigida por Richard Donner y producida por Steven Spielberg, protagonizada por Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Martha Plimpton y un inolvidable reparto de jóvenes intérpretes— regresa a las salas en un reestreno que celebra la vigencia de una película que se ha convertido en objeto de culto generacional. MIn 40: LA PELI DE TU VIDA, CON PEDRO CENJOR Y hoy en la peli de tu vida, cedemos el altavoz de Estamos de Cine a otro directo de la tierra. Este experimentado, toledano, miembro de la Asociación de productores Audiovisuales de CLM, con los que estuvimos hace una semana en Madrid para apoyar las posibles candidatos de nuestra comunidad de cara a los próximos Goya. Es Pedro Cenjor, que ha debutado en el largo este mismo año con La Boda...con Elena Furiase, Daniel Chamorro o Antonio Dechent. En plena Gran Vía, en la oficina de Promoción Turística de CLM, nos desvelaba por qué "Los Inúticos", de Federico Fellini, del año 1953, es el título que marcó su amor por el cine. Min 41: BSO ESPECIAL CENTENARIO DE JACK LEMMON La sección BSO de esta semana se convierte en un viaje muy especial para celebrar el centenario de Jack Lemmon, uno de los actores imprescindibles de la historia del cine. A través de un recorrido musical por su filmografía, repasamos algunas de las bandas sonoras más emblemáticas asociadas a sus películas, deteniéndonos en títulos tan representativos como Mr. Roberts, Días de vino y rosas, Irma la dulce, La extraña pareja o El apartamento. Un homenaje sonoro que permite redescubrir no solo la versatilidad interpretativa de Lemmon, sino también cómo la música acompañó y definió el tono de una carrera que supo moverse con brillantez entre la comedia, el drama y la sátira, y que sigue resonando con fuerza cien años después.

I greet you in Jesus precious name! It is Friday morning, the 12th of December, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Leviticus 12:8:”So the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.' ” What does that mean? “Make atonement” - I looked up the Oxford Dictionary and the literal meaning of the word “atonement” is “reconciliation of God and man.” Father God did it once and for all, for you and for me. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, down to earth from heaven as a sacrifice, an ultimate sacrifice for all of our sins.Now that, my dear friend, is real love - Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice for our sin! If you read in Leviticus, you will see that the Israelites had to keep going up to the Temple to offer sacrifices for their sins. They took bulls, they took rams, they took goats, they took turtledoves to pay for their continual sins but eventually it wasn't enough, so Father God sent His own Son to be the ultimate sacrifice for your sin and for my sin. John 15:13 says: ”Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” That is what Jesus did for us. Do you remember that novel written by Charles Dickens, the famous writer? It was called “The Tale of Two Cities, and basically, it is the story of a friend dying for his friend. These were two identical men, and the one went to the guillotine in France in place of his friend, and the famous line in that whole story, that novel, goes like this, ”It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done. It is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”I want to say to you today, we too must be prepared to die to self so that Jesus can live through us.Have a wonderful day, God bless you and goodbye.

It's a "good news, bad news" kind of episode, and we start by ripping off the Band-Aid to talk about the difficult spot Milwaukee restaurants are in currently. Within just a few days, city institutions Beans & Barley and The National both announced plans to close, and several others have publicly pleaded for support as the traditionally slower winter months loom. We do our small part in the podcast by sharing a few important ways you can support the local ecosystem --- from gift cards to positive online reviews to simply visiting more often.On the more positive side of things, Ann dives into Milwaukee's recent "bakery boom," which afforded her the opportunity to sample delightful treats from recently opened spots like Poppy, Matilda and Midwest Sad. She also leans into her Wisconsin native-ness by revealing the secret to a perfect relish tray (hint: it involves a surprising grilled fruit).Finally, you'll hear about the holiday happenings coming up in Milwaukee, including “Noël à Paris” from Charles E. Fromage, a Charles Dickens-themed dinner at the Grain Exchange and a pair of events at Lupi & Iris with pretty distinct tones: a Charlie Brown Christmas and a Laurent-Perrier champagne dinner.#####This Bites is sponsored by Whiskey Brown Whiskey-Spiked Cookies.

‘The Muppet Christmas Carol' underwhelmed at the box office when it was first released on 11th December, 1992 - but found its audience on video and DVD in the decades later, becoming a gold-plated Christmas classic, re-watched by families, year after year.  There was darkness behind the scenes - from the sudden death of Muppets creator Jim Henson, to the legal wrangling over Disney's acquisition deal for his company, and composer Paul Williams's return from a difficult decade of addiction. But, despite this, or, perhaps, because of it, 28 year-old first-time director Brian Henson delivered a faithful and enduring adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how Steve Whitmire shouldered the daunting job of playing Kermit for the first time; consider Michael Caine's masterstroke performance as Scrooge (‘as if playing opposite the Royal Shakespeare Company'); and reveal how Jerry Juhl's script shifted from comedy pastiche to heartfelt musical…  Further Reading: • ‘‘You'll never see Michael Caine blink': An oral history of The Muppet Christmas Carol at 30' (The Independent, 2022): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/the-muppet-christmas-carol-brian-henson-b2243015.html • ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol movie review' (Roger Ebert, 1992): https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-muppet-christmas-carol-1992 • ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol Trailer #1' (Disney, 1992):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNo-Q0IDJi0 #90s #Film #Christmas #Heartwarming Thanks so much for supporting the show!

We all stand guilty before God, and under the sentence of eternal condemnation. But if you trust in Jesus Christ, you can rest assured that He has taken your place, paid the penalty for your sin, and given you eternal life. Listen to these words of assurance from Dr. Barnhouse.

We invite you to begin this holiday season with some child-like wonder through the magic of Christmas stories.  We will not only look at the birth accounts of the Savior, but at the whole of our story; from even before Genesis through to Revelation.  And we will do so spring boarding off the famous story written in 1843 by Charles Dickens called, A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol begins with a death and forces the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, to evaluate his life.  As a part of this journey, Scrooge is given an odd gift; he's able to explore his past, present, and future.  He's able to remember what happened to him as a child and how it shaped him.  Then he gets to see his present with a view of who he has become; a crotchety old man who cares about little else than making a profit.  Along the way, however, it seems that this crotchety old man wants to be something more, do something more, but what? How? Finally, Scrooge gets the opportunity to see what his future will be should he continue down his current life path.  When he wakes up from this dream, he is convinced; he must change.  He chooses to be different.  You might even say, he repents and becomes a new creation, one who celebrates the joy of Christmas by taking care of others. In a similar fashion, we will look at the thread of the Christ story, and our story, by looking all the way back to Christmas Past, before the foundations of the world.  Then, we will look to Christmas Present, exploring where the choices of His creation led the God of creation.  Then, should we choose to believe in this magical and wonder-filled story of Christmas, we can then peak into our Christmas future, a future secured by what God has done for us.  There, we will see what this God of love and grace has in store for us all.   May the telling and reimagining of this story, the Christmas story, bring much needed light into every corner of our world today. I look forward to the journey, and to spending Christmas…together!

This week we have a look at the 1951 film SCROOGE.  This is Episode #473! Scrooge (released as A Christmas Carol in the United States) is a 1951 British Christmas fantasy drama film and an adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol (1843). It stars Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge, and was produced and directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, with a screenplay by Noel Langley. It also features Michael Hordern, Kathleen Harrison, George Cole, Hermione Baddeley, Mervyn Johns, Clifford Mollison, Jack Warner, Ernest Thesiger and Patrick Macnee. Peter Bull narrates portions of Charles Dickens's words at the beginning and end of the film, and appears on-screen as a businessman.Upon its initial release, the movie was largely ignored by critics, and reactions from those that did watch it were varied. Nevertheless, the movie attracted a strong following on television, and subsequent reviews have been significantly more positive, with many critics considering it one of the best adaptions of the novel, with general praise for the performances, particularly Sim's portrayal of Scrooge.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/castle-of-horror-podcast--4268760/support.

In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rick McNamara talk with Joanne Reeves, Rene Murillo, and Jason Liddell about their ambitious rock musical production, An Xmas Carol, a bold, 21st-century adaptation of Dickens' classic featuring Scrooge as a jaded rocker. They discuss the show's creative origins, unique post-psychedelic rock music style, and their grassroots efforts to stage a premiere in Brookings under the direction of Jason Liddell. Their goal is to record the performance for a documentary, “Brookings to Broadway,” to attract investors and eventually bring the production to Broadway. Despite operating on a shoestring budget, the creators emphasize passion, collaboration, and the importance of supporting the arts. We encourage anyone with differing views to participate in future Curry Café discussions. If you would like to join the panel, email contact@kciw.org or call 541-661-4098.

To paraphrase Charles Dickens, Luke 1 describes both the worst of times and the best of times. In a dark period of Jewish history, the light was preparing to shine. The famine was fading and the silence was about to be shattered. This is the story of Christmas and it begins with God's remnant. We can be encouraged that it only takes a remnant for great things to happen.

On three occasions, Charles Dickens would speak in Dublin. Each time huge crowds came to hear him speak in the Rotunda, with the crowds spilling out into Sackville Street and well beyond. A Christmas Carol was the highlight of all three tours. Beyond his readings, Dickens also wrote interesting letters from the city, comparing it favourably to London and Edinburgh. There was once a time when Dublin even had street names taken from the world of Dickens.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 4, 2025 is: frowsy • FROW-zee • adjective Something described as frowsy has a messy or dirty appearance. // The lamp, discovered in a neglected corner of a frowsy antique store, turned out to be quite valuable. See the entry > Examples: “Footage from his early shows is sublime. In one, models with frowsy hair totter along the catwalk in clogs, clutching—for reasons not explained—dead mackerel.” — Jess Cartner-Morley, The Guardian (London), 4 Mar. 2024 Did you know? Despite its meanings suggesting neglect and inattention, frowsy has been kept in steady rotation by English users since the late 1600s. The word (which is also spelled frowzy and has enjoyed other variants over the centuries) first wafted into the language in an olfactory sense describing that which smells fusty and musty—an old factory, perhaps, or “corrupt air from animal substance,” which Benjamin Franklin described as “frouzy” in a 1773 letter. Frowsy later gained an additional sense describing the appearance of something (or someone) disheveled or unkempt. Charles Dickens was a big fan of this usage, writing of “frowzy fields, and cowhouses” in Dombey and Son and “a frowzy fringe” of hair hanging about someone's ears in The Old Curiosity Shop. Both senses are still in use today.
