Thank you very much for read this stor. Merry Christmas🤶🌲Happy Nye year! ❤❤❤❤❤

I've read this story not once, and know it too well! But in your rendering it with these wonderful bits of acting Dickens' Carol has really made my eyes wet . Thank you so much. But maybe it's also my age which let me understand the spirit of the narrative deeper than I managed to do in my younger years. And I've decided to add something else. I probably was so much emotional while listening to the story because of the beautiful English it was written in and beautiful rendition of yours.

Your voice make the every story very interesting 🎉❤

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁🇵🇱 Thank you for your work for all you do for us learning English!

Thank you very much for the introduction to magic of Christmas. Merry Christmas for you and your family!❤

I already read some easy made stories from Charles Dickens. I loved them all. But this story is special and many memories of my childhood come over me. My Grandparents and my parents were alive. My father played always the fiddle for the children to come in. The story makes me sad and happy. Thanks for telling it again.

It was very nice story, thank you Luke, you read the story in a charming way and it is always pleasure to listen a story from your beautiful voice.

I didn't know this story is this moving and heartwarming. I studied his works helped people at the time(industrial revolution)to have respect the poor and to help them. It's absolutely one of the best masterpieces in the world and in the entire history. I am almost crying ...Sorry for my bad English but I want to say super big THANK YOU Thank you Luke and I hope everyone had a nice Christmas last year in 2023 I strongly wish peace....

Merry Christmas, Luke!

Thank you Luke for this amazing video. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God bless you all!

Luke has been a true inspiration and motivation for the improvement of the English language throughout this year. he has something special that no other instructor possesses. in addition to being a very attractive man,he makes listening to and watching his podcast one of the most enjoyble moments of my day i've read this story not once, and know it too well! but in your rendering it with these wonderful bits of acting Dickens, Carol has really made my eyes wet. Thank you so much. but maybe it's also my age which let me understand the spirit of the narrative deeper than ianaged to do in my younger years. and I've decided to add something else. i probably was so much emotional while listening to the story because of the beautoful English it was witten in and beautiful rendition of yours did you know, that if you break off the top of the chocolate santa, you can pour inside it champaign or something like that and drink, using santa as a glass, but swiftly;) i wanted to again thank you for reading
