Authors Note: I'm sure you've noticed from the description that this is my own take on A Christmas Carol. I wanted to make my own version of this classic story because I love it so much.

Though there may be some creative liberties taken with both Dickens' text and the depictions of Carlos Saldanha's characters, I hope I was able to capture why this story has endured for the past 180 years.

And now, please enjoy Rio: A Christmas Carol.


The place, Rio de Janeiro, the time, 2015, the season, that of jollity, of festivity and charity, of holly and berries and goodwill to all men, with perhaps one exception. It is with this exception which we are concerned in our story.

The exception is, Tyler "Blu" Gunderson.
