I agree with Tiny Tim

"God Bless Us, Every one!" And Merry Christmas!

one of my favorite Christmas traditions!

This year is the 6th year that I have read Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol". (as you may have noticed from this blog i LOVE the movies too!) I start reading on December 1 and finish on or before December 24. I am about 5 or 6 pages shy of having it read! Part of the tradition is that I read from the same book every year. And even though it is a little rough around the edges, I love it. It is a copy that my Dad gave me and wrote in, and it seems to make it feel more like Christmas knowing that the book was his. I hope that you are enjoying your Christmas traditions and are ready to spend time with your families!

This is one that we never got to...because it was late and I'm an old person. But it looks like it has a lot of potential!

I LOVE the Ghost of Christmas Present in this one! This is the only video of her I could find, but its good! (p.s.- 7 days!)

I'm sorry that I cannot embed this one...the embedding feature was disabled by request...although I cannot imagine why! Anyway, do take the time to copy and paste this link, it is wonderful! The Ghost of Christmas Future is Charlie Chaplin's daughter...Now that I know that I think its awesome that she didn't have any speaking lines in this scene!

I know this is a children's movie, but this song is very true and kind of makes me want to cry- its very sweet. I love Robin! (aka Tiny Tim)

This version was the truest to the book. Very good! (p.s. 10 days until Christmas!)

Whatever razzleberry dressing is, it is apparently amazing!

Joy and I watched Reginald Owen's "A Christmas Carol"
...and then we watched "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol"
...and then we watched George C. Scott's "A Christmas Carol"
...and then "A Muppet Christmas Carol"
...and then "A Christmas Carol-The Musical!"
...and then "Scrooged" with Bill Murray.
It was an epic night. To honor such an epic night on my blog I'll post a scene from each one over the next few days. They may not be in order or the most memorable scenes, but they are some of my favorites!
Today is obviously day 1. Enjoy! =)

So many childhood memories!

Watching this not only makes me feel like I'm 5 years old, but it also makes me feel like its Christmas! Enjoy!

its the most wonderful time of the year!

It really is! I very much enjoy Christmas! I hope that you do too! Family and friends getting together to celebrate our Jesus coming to earth to die for us...its kind of a big deal! I have decided to commemorate this Christmas season by stealing Joy's idea and occasionally posting Christmas videos to the blog. Here is the first (and possibly the best!) Enjoy!
