The Man Who Invented Christmas: How Charles Dickens's a Christmas Carol Rescued His Career and Revived Our Holiday SpiritsAs uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how Charles Dickens revived the signal holiday of the Western world. Soon to be a major motion picture. Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay.

As uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how Charles Dickens revived the signal holiday of the Western world. Soon to be a major motion picture. Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace a book that ended with blessings for one and all. With warmth, wit, and an infusion of Christmas cheer, Les Standiford whisks us back to Victorian England, its most beloved storyteller, and the birth of the Christmas we know best. The Man Who Invented Christmas is a rich and satisfying read for Scrooges and sentimentalists alike.Binding Type: Paperback

Cat playground
Color: Black, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 3 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 3 Pack
Easy to install. Sturdy enough for 2 large rambunctious kitties to play on and look very nice. I was working on a vertical play space for the cats and since these come in many sizes it worked great. I did add grip tape to some.

Not the best quality
Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 2 Pack, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 2 Pack
The shelving unit was not as I had expected. It arrived damaged. The damage is on the under side though. They are hollow and not hardwood as I had expected. Save your money if you want something of good quality. These are like 3 pieces of pressed wood glued together. They are space saving and look great in my space. The mounting hardware it comes with was plenty enough to hang these but make sure you hang them in the studs if at all possible. Assembly was simple. It does come with a micro level. Which a kid or pet could accidentally swallow. It’s like pill capsule sized so just be careful when opening the package.

Loving these
Color: Wooden Black
Two (Med and Large) will safely hold a larger electric power strip. The Small is on my desk holding odd items and bits that should be stored upright. They're so simple to use too! I love the colored Velcro strips that come with them and the plastic cable guides. I honestly didn't know they were included so that was a BONUS! It definitely helped sort my cables and power cords for my work station as well as my crafting station. Keeping them safely out of the way means my robot vacuum can run without any complications. The wood tops actually blend with the floors making them less visible. If I needed more I would certainly get more! I may buy more for gifting.

No More Messy Looking Cords Everywhere
Color: Wooden Black
These are such a great find! My office, bedroom and living room look so much cleaner now! The sizes were just right to meet our needs. The colors matched our decor and the cords no longer stick out like a sore thumb. It was easy to get the power strip and the cords organized inside the boxes and using these is just the perfect solution to a messy problem. Highly recommended!

Hides the cords well
Color: Wooden Black
Very subtle and hides the cords and surge protector well. They look appealing and blend in with other items well allowing them to not stand out. I wish the lid snapped on, though. Depending on the cords, it sometimes sticks up. But is an easy fix.
