Who wrote poem Christmas is a coming?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The music to Christmas is Coming was composed by Edith Nesbit Bland in the late nineteenth century. The author of the lyrics is unknown but the popularity of this traditional Christmas song is handed down from generation to generation in the form of a nursery rhyme. The words of Christmas is coming reflects the Christmas festival of celebration of being a time of plenty but that charity should be given to the less fortunate according to the giver's means!

Christmas is coming,

The geese are getting fat,

Please put a penny

In the old man's hat.

If you haven't got a penny,

A ha'penny will do,

If you haven't got a ha'penny,

Then God bless you.

Why did Charles Dickens put ghosts in a book about Christmas in A Christmas Carol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it. Their faithful Friend and Servant, CD. 1843. This is Dickens own words on the matter. It would seem he wanted to write a light and at times humourous account of his views on wealth and poverty that could be enjoyed but equally would convey an important moral and political message. To introduce an idea - an idea of redividing wealth fairly to help the poor but without being too heavily criticial of the fortunate wealthy few. A persuasive approach!

The girl under the spirit's robe in A Christmas Story?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol', the children under the spirit's robe are Ignorance and Want. Ignorace is the boy and Want is the girl. The spirit warns Scrooge to beware them both, but especially the boy because on his head is written 'doom'. The children are representations of the negative side of society; that often we choose to ignore those less fortunate than ourselves and are only out for our own benefit. The spirit was teaching Scrooge to be more giving of his time and money to others.

Because the holiday season provides a wonderful landscape of joy and giving and serves as a metaphor for the ideal human society. It was conceived in September 1843 and written in two weeks in December for immediate publication.
