No fictional Christmas story is perhaps more renown and famous than that of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" so for your viewing enjoyment, begins several posts of a short collection of photos accounting "A Christmas Carol" through the years, this is not an exhaustive list, but simply an account of some of the good stuff. This post specifically will focus on who else, but the very man, "Ebenezer Scrooge". To start it all off first of all I need to share this photo:
