| Carol's first meeting with Jackson, her deceased next door neighbour's
son, doesn't start off well. Once the initial fright is over, the two
begin to get acquainted. Carol's preconceptions concerning Jackson are
easy enough to understand, when one knows only what she has been told.
Jackson's life with his father wasn't easy growing up, and over the
next few days Carol learns about the different events that made the
two grow so far apart over the years. Carol herself had survived an
unhappy marriage and divorce. The emotional burden left its scars, and
the meeting with Jackson had her responding to him in such a manner
that she'd never experienced with anyone else. The emotional and
physical bonds between them are so strong right from the first moment.
The opening scene is excellent; very descriptive in setting the environment for the rest of this great story. I loved the amusing references to scenes in funny films. I also enjoyed the fact that although both have insecurities dealing with the way they see themselves, brought on by others in the past, each character feels so comfortable with the other right from the first meeting, enabling them to give in and feel free to open themselves emotionally and physically. Christmas Carol is a wonderful story!
