Written by famous authors, and by a few others who have remained in the shadows, these Christmas stories, regardless of their origin, all have a magical character. They also have in common this power to amaze the very young, and for centuries, they have aroused the interest of several generations of children. From the oldest to the most recent, these stories have even managed to fascinate an older audience. <\/p>\n<p>Dans cette liste, y figurent certains contes de No\u00ebl devenus tr\u00e8s populaires, lesquels se sont par le fait m\u00eame hiss\u00e9s au rang des meilleurs. L\u2019un d\u2019entre eux, et possiblement le plus ancien, n\u2019est nul autre que cette \u0153uvre remarquable de Charles Dickens, intitul\u00e9e Un chant de No\u00ebl (A Christmas Carol). Le personnage principal, Ebenezer Scrooge, riche et r\u00e9put\u00e9 pour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blognoel.com\/en\/christmas-songs\/\">son<\/a> avarice, se voit visiter par les fant\u00f4mes de No\u00ebl qui lui font revivre quelques \u00e9pisodes de son enfance. Ce r\u00e9cit moralisateur a \u00e9t\u00e9 transport\u00e9 au cin\u00e9ma, dans un film dont on ne compte plus les versions tant elles sont nombreuses.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Match Girl is also one of the best Christmas stories ever, and its success is no less than its predecessor. This sad tale evokes the misery of a little girl alone, hungry and freezing, and reminds readers of the injustice that children can sometimes suffer. This tale has subsequently been adapted in various ways, successively taking the form of a film, an opera, a Quebecois novel and a comic strip.   <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If we were to list all the Christmas stories that have been written to date, it would be so long that it would take several pages to contain it.
