Charles Dickens is just great, this is just a short little note about how we change as we get older and how Christmas becomes more for others and less about ourselves as we get older.

A Dickens Christmas story about charity, hope, and forgiveness, with a touch of remembrance and loss. This very mature story looks back throughout one's life, promises made, aspirations filled and unfilled, love gained and lost, and many other such touching moments in everyone's life. An American voice was used per listener request.

For the mature there are far more Christmas guests than others may see. People long removed from the breath of life find a home in the remembrances of those who really understand this holiday.

Originally published in the 1851 Christmas edition of Dickens's journal Household Words, "What Christmas Is as We Grow Older" is an essay suggesting that Christmas should be a time of gratitude and forgiveness. This version of "What Christmas Is as We Grow Older" was recorded as part of Dreamscape's The Christmas Stories of Charles Dickens.
