"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." - Ebenezer Scrooge (spoiler alert)

Revisiting three ghosts, geek style
As far as Christmas book traditions go, for years I would read David Sedaris' hilarious Holidays on Ice around this time of year, but then took a break from it to give the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol a try. (Everyone should read that at least once. It's so much more rewarding than any of its adaptations.)
Kinda sorta continuing with the Dickens theme, last year I started a newer, quicker, geekier tradition in Batman: Noël, which is the Dark Knight's take on that holiday staple. Yes, here Bruce Wayne assumes the Scrooge role. It actually works, believe it or not.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to officially close out Christmas with a (comic) book because that's how I roll.
