This carol is such a cheerful one, but it hides a sad truth. You may be familiar with Charles Dickens' writing stories of economic realities, but by this carol tells the story of children going door-to-door, poor neighbors hoping for the largess of wealthy neighbors to eat and to share a little Christmas cheer. It isn't so far from true today either. Two-thirds of the homeless and inadequately housed are women and children. Don't forget to give to someone in need this year.
