We're into the third stave of A Christmas Carol, and there is a lot to cover in this one. In this episode, Collin talks about the first half of the Ghost of Christmas Present portion of the story, including an argument between Scrooge and the Ghost about bakers being open on Sundays, the entirety of the Cratchits scene, and lots and lots of descriptions about food.
