If you don’t respond with a moist eye and a swelling heart to “A Christmas Carol,” Charles Dickens’ classic tale of a miser’s spiritual redemption, I wouldn’t go so far as to call you a Scrooge, but perhaps you might consider removing Christmas itself from your holiday calendar. The classic tale has been much-filmed and much-dramatized over the years — it is probably more seen than read these days — but no matter its ingrained-from-childhood familiarity, it remains a reliable tugger of heartstrings.
