We saw our annual viewing of "A Christmas Carol" today...the George C. Scott version and my

favorite. It was wonderful as usual.

What Christmas movies have you seen so far?

Also love and watched the Alastair Sim version of "A Christmas Carol". Recently watched the 1947 version of "Miracle On 34th Street".

An over-produced, made-for-TV snooze fest. I don’t believe any of it for a second.

Alastair Sim’s version is da bomb. And - surprisingly - the Disney/Jim Carrey version is better than it had any right to be. Patrick Stewart’s version is worth watching as well.
