The Man Who Invented Christmas: How Charles Dickens's a Christmas Carol Rescued His Career and Revived Our Holiday SpiritsAs uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how Charles Dickens revived the signal holiday of the Western world. Soon to be a major motion picture. Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay.

As uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how Charles Dickens revived the signal holiday of the Western world. Soon to be a major motion picture. Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace a book that ended with blessings for one and all. With warmth, wit, and an infusion of Christmas cheer, Les Standiford whisks us back to Victorian England, its most beloved storyteller, and the birth of the Christmas we know best. The Man Who Invented Christmas is a rich and satisfying read for Scrooges and sentimentalists alike.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect comfy on the go or everyday wear! Preschool?
Size: 3T, Color: Dusty Rose/Pink Text Print/White Rugby Stripe
Sounds silly but these Amazon essentials shirts are better than some other name brands. I bought same brand for myself. These shirts have been camping, dirty, and stains come out, they keep their shape and their color. I absolutely love them. Moms & Dads, if you want inexpensive and still decent shirts I recommend these. They come in a 3 pack, there’s no itchy tag, they are loose fitting, they don’t shrink, and the colors are true to picture.

Perfect
Fits perfectly. True to size. Good quality and lasts long. I love how long they are, it’s not too long but they have added length to the bottom a little bit which makes it nice for toddlers. Will buy again. Worth every penny. Color choices are great.

Great quality, so soft, love this brand!
These do run big so order the size your child is currently in or a size down, it runs bigger than a lot of his other shirts in this size. The fabric is very soft and well made. I love the way they feel. I washed and dried them and they still look brand new like they did when they came out of the package and no noticeable shrinkage. No wrinkles either. These aren't lightweight, so they're great for spring and fall and even winter. This is one of my favorite kid brands now because the quality is always on par for the price.

Toddler tops!
Size: 3T, Color: Dusty Rose/Pink Text Print/White Rugby Stripe
These are great quality, my daughter is too but she is tall so we needed long fitting shirts. These tops fit well and appearance is long on her tall torso. The thickness of this shirt perfect for in between spring and summer. It is very comfortable and cute without being ugly! She is able to perform all her toddler shenanigans in these shirts too!
