For over ten years, (I don't know why) every year when Christmas comes along. I always watch a different version of A Christmas Carol. Out of all the versions I have seen, my personal favourites are Scrooge (1951) staring Alastair Sims and Muppet Christmas Carol (1992).
But the version staring the Muppets is brilliant, accurate but thanks to the muppets also keeps it funny. What I like about this version is that is that it's not as "dark, moody and scary" as the other versions. It's the humour that keeps that in check.
Don't misunderstand, when it comes to the scenes of Christmas yet to come. That part would scare kids, but there is a message behind that. Because the future hasn't been written yet, people can make changes to the future to make not only there future bright, but other people as well, especially during the festive season.
Although I don't know much about Charles Dickens, this is one story i can relate to. For those who are unaware, there is a museum dedicated to him in London, UK. Trust me, its worth visiting it, especially at this time of year.
