[a fool in paradise]

I wonder what Dickens would say. For a company like Disney that keeps buying Congressmen to keep Copyright Law in perpetual renewal, they sure do tackle a lot of public domain materials.

And really though, I've seen adaptations of A Christmas Carol. And maybe someone will get it “right” every now and then, but I don't need to see 400 different interpretations of Scrooge.

Good message. But give me something new.

A Christmas Story was something new. And it became a perennial.

A Christmas Story was something new. And it became a perennial.

And now it's as old and stale as a Y2K fruit cake log.

Maybe it’s the historian in me, but I love “things old” around Christmas. And the way I get my “fix” is to re-read A Christmas Carol every year—the book is better than any movie (and it’s a pretty short read, too). I never get tired of the way that wonderful story is written; parts of it are pure poetry.
