There are a plethora of movies made with inspiration from the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. Some quite entertaining, and others not so much....but producers keep using this story and making their own variations of the tale. Watch ABC Family this time of year or Fa-La-La-La-Lifetime and you are sure to catch one or more of these movies. My personal favorites include Scrooged and The Muppets version!
Other thinks Ol' Charlie had to say about "the most wonderful time of the year......"
“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.”
“Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!” ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836
And God bless us, every one!
