Just read this for a third time, and I'll probably read it several more times in the future. I don't remember it being so funny, so tongue-in-cheek, or so delightful when I was younger. It's a classic for a reason, and it certainly reminded me of the important things about the holiday spirit.

Fourth reading was listening to the edition read by Simon Prebble. Very good narration! But I couldn't help imagining all of the characters as muppets ;)
