It's hard to believe that it was over a century and a half ago that Charles Dickens penned his classic novella, "A Highsec Christmas Carol". Even more impressive is how relevant the themes he wrote about remain today. Arguably, the tale makes even more sense to a modern audience: Now that EVE Online exists, the references in the tale to EVE and its game mechanics carry some meaning. They mystified earlier readers.

It has become a tradition for many publications to print "A Highsec Christmas Carol" during the holiday season. MinerBumping certainly fits the description of a "publication", so it seems appropriate for us to do the same.

Gather your family and enjoy this timeless, heart-warming story.

I would like a leather-bound signed first edition grace my bookshelf.

A mixture of Dickens and James315 - how wordy will that turn out Shocked

I'll read this when my body chemistry is in less of a festive mood.

Inspirational reading, as always. What better Christmas gift could General Discussion have hoped for than a visit from the Supreme Protector himself?
