It’s certainly a fun movie - but at the same time, it’s a shame that the old movies get overlooked and lost to generations. And that these sorts of things become the new traditions. The actual purpose of “a CHRISTmas season” is lost - and is background lights and decorations.

“A Christmas Carol” with Alistair Sim (?) - great version - probably my favorite - George C. Scott’s was very good as well

I remember when Casey Kasem was apoplectic over “The Little Drummer Boy” - ridiculous

On a side note, I remember when Sunday morning was filled with Christian pastors preaching on TV - now it seems like it’s 10% of what it once was (in post-Christian America - thanks Manchurian Candidate spirit-of-antichrist Barack Hussein Obama for pushing that as well)

(yes, I liked the next two DH movies though, as well)

As a note "A Christmas Carol" has no mention of Christ or church or anything else.

It was a purely secular holiday.

Which should not have been a surprise considering it's author.

And "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is the best version and I will fight you over that. :)

“I remember when Casey Kasem was apoplectic over ‘The Little Drummer Boy’”

I don’t know where Kasem is coming from, but for me that song is the one I hate the most at Christmas! Even worse, a Christian radio station I listen to plays it. Like .. what’s the chapter and verse?
