> […] six out the first nine of Charles Dickens’s Christmases as a young boy were snow-white christmases. This decade in 1800-1810 was the coldest for several hundred years. And still England hasn’t seen Snow White Christmases more than a handful of times in the past 100 years. But, Dickens’s writing always portrayed the winter city blanketed in snow, and his novel A Christmas Carol spurred a revival of celebrating Christmas in Victorian England being the first to paint a perfect Christmas as a snowy one. So, the rare occurrence of Dickens’s childhood with such snowy weather idealized snowy Christmas in Dickens’s writing and has influenced modern day Christmas imagery entirely based on his writings.
