Before "A Christmas Carol", there was a Christmas dinner.
Christmas Eve 1841. As Charles Dickens gathers inspiration for A Christmas Carol, his wife Kate grapples with an elaborate dinner menu, an ever-expanding guest list, and Charles's troublemaking father--all while secretly writing a cookbook. When Charles fails to appreciate Kate's holiday labor, she goes on strike, leaving her clueless husband to face holiday chaos without her.
