One of England’s greatest and most popular novelists, Charles Dickens remains universally regarded as "The Man who Invented Christmas." To many, his literary characters are as real today as the day they were created, especially Ebenezer Scrooge. Dickens’ life was a true tale of rags-to-riches – from the shame of debt and humiliation to international literary success and worldwide acclaim. Enjoy this holiday season as Dr. Covington becomes the "Master of Holiday Mirth" himself!
