    The Amish Christmas Miser , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
    Mark King was an elderly Amish man who lived alone. Partly out of choice, and partly because his seven (now adult) children could no longer cope with his ways. He did care about things and people, but felt unable to show it.His childhood home life and then community were very strict, and he took this too far as an adult, not allowing joy, love or happiness into his life, or for those around him. A talented carpenter and a vastly knowledgeable man, who opinion was often consulted by community members was over shadowed by his shouting at people for little reason, and lack of ability to show care or emotion.He loved his children but found it near impossible to cope with them as little ones, and as for his own grandchildren?He could not cope with the noise and mischief. His wife sadly had passed away on the eve of Christmas a few years earlier. The village women said “of a broken heart”. He trusted her, loved her and misses her, but cannot talk about it, so others simply assume that he has a heart made of stone.Each year when Christmas comes around he feels himself becoming more stern and angry and resentful. He does not celebrate Christmas at all other than to attend prayer meetings etc., and distances himself from the community for weeks at a time.When one day Mark falls and hurts himself whilst shouting at his neighbor's children, he is forced to accept help, and is faced with a few home truths about his actions.Could the sad, and bitter old man find happiness once again or will he be lonely for the rest of his life? ungekürzt.

    Ebenezer Scrooge is a penny-pinching miser in the first degree. He cares nothing for the people around him, and for him mankind exists only for the money that can be made through exploitation and intimidation. He particularly detests Christmas, which he views as "a time for finding yourself a year older, and not an hour richer". On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley, who died seven Christmas Eves ago. Marley, a miser from the same mold as Scrooge, is suffering the consequences in the afterlife and hopes to help Scrooge avoid his fate. He tells Scrooge that he will be haunted by three spirits. These three spirits, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, succeed in showing Scrooge the error of his ways. His glorious reformation complete, Christmas morning finds Scrooge sending a Christmas turkey to his long-suffering clerk, Bob Cratchit, and spending Christmas day in the company of his nephew, Fred, whom he had earlier spurned. This updated classic will entertain the young and old alike. Language: English. Narrator: GiGi, Full Cast. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/gigi/000007/bk_gigi_000007_sample.mp3.
