On this day in 1843, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens is published. Since then, the story has been adapted to many stage shows and films. My personal favorite is a “Muppet Christmas Carol”.

On this day in 1983, the @laclippersofficial.bsky.social, who played in San Diego, lost their 15th consecutive road game to the @warriorsofficial.bsky.social. They would go on to have 29 consecutive road losses. Should the NBA return to San Diego?
