Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade

Christmas Carol was a great read

Nietzsche completely put me off most English/Anglo writers and thinkers, Dickens included.

They're far too sentimental, not to mention full of ressentiment and Christianity - whether it be religious or secular.

Come on man, if you don't harbor at least a bit of sentimentality it's like you're not even a complete person

>full of... Christianity
How is that a bad thing?

>>8880636
In a Christmas Carol there aren't any Christian references; maybe you could argue that the morality of the thing is "christian", but being a good fucking human being is not a christian invention

English Christians at the time of A Christmas Carol actually 'celebrated' Christmas much more dourly. The whole family gathering, feasting and drinking was much more pagan and had more in common with Yule or Saturnalia. The christians back in Dickens day were much more "keep Christ in Christmas - this means no fun"

That's not a bad thing; it makes the story immortal

If you've read Nietzsche, you'd know.

Muppets Christmas Carol is one of the best adaptations of a book ever. Very funny and amusing, but when Michael Caine is being visited by Ghost of Christmas Future, I completely forgot I was watching a children's movie and was totally moved by his performance and left the movie wanting to change my own behavior. For those turned off by A Christmas Carol because of its oversaturation in our culture, Muppets Christmas Carol might be the perfect way to appreciate such a beautiful story.

I was forced to reply by my desire to tell you how abysmal your use of English is. Here's the half that I can be bothered or interested to mention:
You're not talented enough with interesting punctuation to be using colons within ordinary communication. Instead I believe it would be better to use words and grammar to organise the information. Despite the irony of my critique this board is still not your English class at highschool where you get a higher grade for cramming inane punctuation into bland writing.
Your sentences are self serving (which is typically an ignorant way to write especially if you aren't compelling or helpful); you reiterate redundantly that sentences beginning "I" are still about yourself or opinion before divulging even one piece of information for the reader. Unlike you, many readers will not forget the context of what they're reading after half a sentence. We'd hope also that the writer didn't have ADHD either.
For you I don't recommend use of the oxford comma and certainly not connectives after other tedious punctuation.
Don't be afraid of brackets.

I realise that you're likely quite young at heart given what I see. Don't be distressed by my unprovoked comments. Even better would be to counter-argue which could both justify and solidify your good habits and bring you new considerations.
