Dickens' descriptions used to make me feel agitated to get through it, but reading them this way makes it much lot more relaxing! Genuinely loving the daily letters, I legit read them like a morning newspaper 😅 thanks so much for doing it!

I love how Dickens subtly conveys that the food isn't grant or even enough for such a big family. And that the Cratchits are, nonetheless, happy and would never dare complain about anything. It's quite a contrast to Scrooge, who is wealthy yet clearly unhappy.

Also, Bob is such a sweetheart, praising his wife's cooking to high heavens because he sees how worried she is, that it might not have turned out perfect. He deserves all the good that comes from the ghost visiting his employer.
