The 12 Days of Christmas - Day 3

For the 12 Days of Christmas, I have decided to share 12 Christmas movies that my family loves!

I know I did "A Christmas Carol" yesterday, but I have to do this one also! I love The Muppet Christmas Carol! I will admit I like to watch this year round! My favorite character cast in this was Miss Piggy as Mrs. Cratchit! Even when reading the book, I picture Miss Piggy in her role as Mrs. Cratchit. Yes, I know, it's pathetic. Heehee!! I also like how Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat narrate this, it's a fun twist!

Gonzo: My name is Charles Dickens.

Rizzo the Rat: And my name is Rizzo the Rat... wait a second! You're not Charles Dickens!

Gonzo: I am too!

Rizzo the Rat: No! A blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat?

Gonzo: Absolutely!

Rizzo the Rat: Charles Dickens was a 19th Century novelist! A genius!

Gonzo: Oh, you are too kind!

Rizzo the Rat: Why should I believe you?

Gonzo: Well, because I know the story of A Christmas Carol like the back of my hand!

Rizzo the Rat: Prove it!

Gonzo: All right! Um, there's a little mole on my thumb, and um, a scar on my wrist from when I fell off my bike...

Rizzo the Rat: No, no, no, don't tell us your *hand*, tell us the *story*!

The 12 Days of Christmas - Day 2

For the 12 Days of Christmas, I have decided to share 12 Christmas movies that my family loves!

This is our second favorite Christmas movie! George C. Scott did an amazing job as Ebeneezer Scrooge! This is another one I remember watching for as long as I can remember. Every Christmas season we'd sit down and watch it...and if we had some on hand, we'd definitely have some popcorn! I particularly love the ending of this version! 

A wonderful classic Christmas story! 

I also highly recommend the book, it's my favorite work by Charles Dickens!
