A Christmas Carol – Scrooge Extinguishes the First of the Three Spirits (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
*
The Hub just got the part of Scrooge in a local performance.
I’d love to go see him, but that play scares the Dickens out of me.
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

Love Dickens at Christmas. I live in a “Christmas City” (truly.. Bethlehem, PA), and we are Christmas on steroids. Every year, Gerald Charles Dickens (great great grandson of the Original) visits here and does a one man show of the Christmas Carol. He is awesome. And it is so eerily cool when he walks out on stage. Charles Dickens (thru his gr gr grandson) is standing there!!

Fascinating stuff!
Funnily enough, after I read your comment, I read an article in our local paper about a Stockport man who flies out to Buffalo, NY, every Christmas to play Scrooge in a theatre there. I wonder how many more there are?
But you have the edge with a real descendant 🙂

This Gerald Dickens fellow is from London, I think.

I don’t think they should have cast him as Scrooge. Father Christmas, perhaps….Dianne
