Christmas Song, Christmas Tale or The Christmas Song -whose original title in English is A Christmas Carol- is a short novel written by the British Charles Dickens and originally published by Chapman & Hall on December 19, 1843. Tell the story of a greedy and selfish man named Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation after being visited by a series of ghosts on Christmas Eve. The novel achieved immediate success and critical applause.

The book was written and published during the Victorian era, a time when there was great nostalgia for the old Christmas traditions and new customs such as Christmas trees or greeting cards were being introduced. Dickens' inspirations for writing the novel seem to be many and varied, but the main ones are the sad and humiliating experiences of his childhood, his affection for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales.

Criticism has perceived the story as a condemnation of nineteenth-century industrial capitalism. It has also been considered that it contributed to the restoration of Christmas as a time of celebration and festivity in the United Kingdom and the United States after a more sober and somber period, derived from unfavorable social changes and urbanization. The book is still popular, since it has never stopped being published and has been adapted on numerous occasions to the cinema, the theater, television and other media.

Dickens' novel was one of the main influences in the resurgence of the old Christmas traditions in England, but at the same time that it transmits images and feelings of optimism, joy, warmth and life, it also transmits elements of darkness, despair, coldness, sadness and death. The protagonist himself, Scrooge, is the personification of winter and, just as winter is succeeded by spring and the resurgence of life, the hard, cold and sad heart of Scrooge is restored to the joy and goodwill he knew. in his childhood and youth.
