📜 December 19: On This Day in History |  | Bah, Humbug! |  Image: The Guardian | Each of the following events happened on December 19. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom! - A) Charles Dickens’ classic story A Christmas Carol is published. The story recounts the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, who’s visited by three ghosts of Christmas past that turn him into a kinder, gentler man.
- B) The National Hockey League drops the puck on its first season. All four inaugural NHL teams are located in Canada, with the league later expanding to the US.
- C) James Cameron’s epic drama Titanic opens in theaters. The record-breaking film tells the story of the real-life luxury ocean liner that struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage.
- D) Los Angeles Raiders RB Bo Jackson is named to the AFC Pro Bowl team as a reserve, becoming the first—and still the only—athlete chosen for All-Star games in two major American sports (MLB and NFL).
