Charles Dickens, an author, an editor, an illustrator, and a great mind. There are many words we can associate with Charles Dickens, but most importantly Charles was a creator.

Holidays are often joyful, but can sometimes lead to anger or embarrassment. This is shown by the quote "the disasters, the days of grace". The bittersweetness of the holidays makes good material for writing. The author mentions "those terrible petaled swim caps, the men's awful trunks". This shows disappointment in her own family. She believes that her family members are clueless and is embarrassed by them. Additionally, she draws a contrast between her cousins' Brownie uniforms and her own. This exemplifies her belief that people are constantly judging her. Something as minor as an untidy uniform can set off her low self-esteem.
A Conall Christmas: A Novella (Book 2.5): Christmas is approaching, and Adelle is determined to make it the best one Conall Castle has ever seen, but loneliness haunts her. Love for her daughter sent her into the past, but she’d not expected the isolation she would feel.

She couldn’t stand the crowd she had just come out from, especially because of the disgusting, sticky, humidity. To her, it was like a sauna and she hated the sauna. On top of that, she despised the way people pushed one another, hurt one another and fought over a product. It was as if they were wild animals in a tropical jungle, ferociously racing for the scarce food. Christmas had become a publicity opportunity for every store and the people victims of the publicity. In these modern days, the only thing that worried everyone were the gifts. “Is he going to like me for it?”, all the women wondered and “Maybe she’ll forgive me like this”, all the men thought as they were buying. And the shopping centers became a disgusting, humid jungle.

Charles Dickens may eventually mount unprocessed bright brightness with his unique charm in world history of literature, and, forever.
The book I chose for my analysis was Christmas In the Country by Cynthia Rylant and Diane Goode. This book follows the life of a young girl who lives with her grandparents in a little white house on the countryside. It illustrates her excitement and anticipation as she waits for Christmas each year, and how much fun she has when it finally arrives. After reading through this book one can infer, that this book follows the very traditional roles of a man and a woman’s role in the household and with children.
Everyone remembers that moment they realized that Santa Claus wasn’t real. The disappointment is so searing. For many people the holidays never again hold the same kind of magic. Speaking as former child, I remember the abject disappointment when I found out that this Christmas magic was just a fiction. The spell was broken; the escape from reality that children and adults can share for a few months had gone. Christmas was never the same again.
Christmas is one of the best times of the year, and many people would agree with this statement. Christmas is known as the season of giving, and the joy on someone’s face when one gives another a present. When I receive presents, the joy I feel is incomparable. Christmastime is truly special, and it brings families together. Christmas is celebrated by many families in different ways, and others do not celebrate Christmas at all. The people who do not celebrate Christmas tend to celebrate Hanukah or Kwanzaa, and some chose not to celebrate anything. I love Christmas more than any other holiday throughout the course of the year. Many people receive automated vehicles as a Christmas present. The best Christmas present that has ever been created
