A Christmas Tree

A Christmas tree becomes a gateway to treasured memories and festive wonders.

In A Christmas Tree, Charles Dickens invites readers to gather around a beautifully decorated tree as he recalls the joys, mysteries, and enchantments of Christmas past. Through vivid imagery and gentle nostalgia, Dickens reflects on toys, games, ghost stories, and the simple pleasures that make the season magical.

First published in 1850, this short but evocative piece captures the Victorian spirit of Christmas—a celebration of warmth, family, and imagination. Blending humor, sentiment, and a touch of the supernatural, it remains a charming companion to Dickens's more famous holiday works, offering a tender glimpse into his own love for the season.
