Raise your hand if you think A Christmas Carol is terrifying.
Me too.
I saw Robert Zemeckis' new animated film last week, and I'd forgotten what a harrowing tale Charles Dickens weaves.
It struck me that as I mature-as I become comfortable in the working world, earn more, learn to enjoy the privileges of my salary, eat more, and as I walk past my share of beggars on the street-Dickens' message becomes more and more relevant.
