The Home School Advent Calendar - 21st December

Grab a comfortable chair and set aside some time to read a Christmas story. It doesn't need to be lengthy; you can choose a book, a magazine, a comic, or something online, as long as it falls under the category of a Christmas story. Don't cheat, as watching a Christmas film is a separate advent activity.

Did you know that Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in just a few weeks in late 1843, and it was the very first Christmas story? It became an instant success, with Londoners rushing to hear Dickens read it, and the first edition sold out in a matter of days.
