- W2903461908 abstract "This extract from Charles Dickens eulogises the Christmas meal and the gathering together of the family around the fire. Many of these traditions that we associate with a European Christmas became widespread thanks to the pen of Dickens, who wrote five Christmas Books and Christmas-themed stories for his own periodical (Ackroyd 1991). The sentimental world Dickens created in A Christmas Carol was not overtly Christian, yet sinners like Scrooge could be redeemed, and love, symbolised by the Cratchit family, triumphed over all. It appears that Dickens was trying to escape the memories of a troubled childhood with a father who was sent to debtors’ prison, by conjuring up an idealised family setting. He remembered his early family Christmases in Rochester, where it snowed at Christmas six years out of nine (Jamieson 2008). Dickens was born in 1812 at the end of the Little Ice Age and in 1813/1814, the last Frost Fair was held on the frozen surface of the River Thames. There is thus a strong link made between snow and a Dickensian Christmas, illustrated by the emphasis of the Rochester Dickensian Christmas Festival on a ‘guaranteed [fake] snowfall’ (Enjoy Medway 2013). Even in Australia, Sovereign Hill, a recreation of the Ballarat goldfields, provides fake snow for its Christmas in July celebrations (Figure 8.1)." @default.
