I wouldn't say they are alike, but one is the background of the other one. "Christmas Carol" is set against the first decades of the Victorian Era, when the industrial revolution was in full swing.
A christmas carol takes place during the industrial revolution
Its not. The giver has nothing to do with John Milton.
They are both based closely on the original book
The first printing of "A Christmas Carol" in 1843 was a commercial success, selling out by Christmas Eve. It received positive reviews from critics and readers alike. The book's popularity contributed to the revival of Christmas traditions and helped shape the way we celebrate the holiday today.
Well they are alike because they both fought in war

"Revolution" means orbiting around another body. A year is the time for a planet to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Of course other people can celebrate christmas. Christmas is a tradition, and it is more and more celebrated by christians and atheists alike. Christmas has become much more of a family thing as opposed to a religious thing.
