You’ll have a Dickens of a Christmas in Middleburg through December 31! Charles Dickens is famously linked to Christmas, especially through his novella A Christmas Carol. This story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who undergoes a profound transformation after being visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. The themes of redemption, generosity, and the Christmas spirit shine through, highlighting the significance of compassion and community—values that the Middleburg community embodies throughout the year.
