'A Christmas Carol' gift guide

To get into the holiday spirit, we teamed with the cast of "A Christmas Carol" from Chesapeake Shakespeare Company— which recently moved into its permanent building downtown on South Calvert Street — to help showcase this year's gift guide. Set on the backdrop of Gramercy Mansion in Stevenson, we matched gifts to characters from the production, such as Tiny Tim and Scrooge. Use the guide for ideas to shop for the favorite character in your life. You can catch the "Christmas Carol" characters in real life during Chesapeake Shakespeare's production, which runs Nov. 29-Dec. 23.
