A Christmas Classic (To Me, Anyway)

Six years ago (!), I wrote this post about the movie "Scrooge". (Technically, it's "A Christmas Carrol" but the movie goes by the name "Scrooge", so that's what I'm sticking with.)

Anyway, if you bother to read the post (and I won't hold it against you if you don't) you'll notice that I mention, more than once, how much I liked this movie. I still  do.

After a year or two of being too busy to watch it, I'm happy that we watched it again this year. I'm going to do you a favor and embed the movie right here, but first, a couple of tips.

First of all, watch this at night, in an all-dark room (having the Christmas tree lights on is ok -- but that's IT!). The other thing is, be prepared to get choked up when Scrooge is (spoiler alert!) visited by the Ghost of Things Yet to Come and watches as Bob Cratchit (spoiler alert again!) tears up over the loss of Tiny Tim.

This chokes me up Every. Single. Time.

Anyway, set aside less than an hour and a half of your so-called precious time and watch the movie preferably with someone you care about (but alone is ok,  too).

You can thank me later.
