In 1843, Christmas Carol is published. But in 1732, 'Poor Richard's Almanac' is also published. Today must be a common day for the publishers.
In 1843, A Christmas Carol appeared. It was the first in a series of successful Christmas books, "a whimsical sort of masque intended to awaken loving and forbearing thoughts"--by Charles Dickens. He financed the publishing of the book himself, with gilt-edging and hand-colored illustrations. It's one of the most popular work that Dickens ever created. By Christmas, the book had sold 6,000 copies.
