No, Dear Law Professor, Charles Dickens Didn’t Write A Christmas Story

Though not really central to whatever main point the author was making in this article, this error is one of the funniest I’ve seen recently.

Just to be clear, Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol, the timeless classic of holiday redemption, and the 1983 movie A Christmas Story was about the little kid who really wanted a BB gun for Christmas.

And for the record, the source cited in footnote 18 of this article mentions neither Dickens, Oliver Twist, or A Christmas Story. Who did the sub and cite on this article?
