My dad was always a HUGE Christmas Carol fan... We have at least 10 different versions at home... It's definitely a tradition to watch as many versions as humanly possible... My personal favorite "classic" version of A Christmas Carol is
Scrooge (1951), starring Alastair Sim as Scrooge (I ALWAYS cry at the end when he approaches his niece-in-law and says, "
Can you forgive a pig-headed old fool with no eyes to see with and no ears to hear with all these years?"). Also, my favorite quotes:
Quote:
Portly Gentleman: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time.
Ebenezer: Why? Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?
Portly Gentleman: Many can't go there; and many would rather die.
Ebenezer: If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.

My favorite modern adaptation of A Christmas Carol:
Scrooged, starring the veritable Bill Murray.
I ALWAYS have to watch that on Christmas Eve.
My boyfriend and I got a mini Christmas tree today. It's the first time I've gotten a Christmas Tree with a boyfriend. :rolleyes: :D We decorated it with zombie ornaments.

It'll be sad this year without Bob Clark, but John Saxon and Olivia Hussey will be there.

Though, I don't know... Maybe I'll just join Rod for Christmas. :p
