What the Dickens? Ninth Annual A Christmas Carol Marathon

Housing Works welcomes musicians, writers and performers to invoke Ebenezer Scrooge and his ghosts. The event begins at noon with caroling from the New York City Master Chorale, followed by a three-and-a-half-hour reading (approximately) with writers giving their take on the infamous miser. Seasonal treats like hot chocolate and mulled wine are available at the cafe, plus store items are 10 percent off, so bring your holiday list. Bah, humbug!
