Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)

He's far away, but the sailor's party is cheered, and he says it is Christmas day, and though the winds and the waves may be dreary, they are happy far away. So I'm Patrick McMeade, the holiday season is my favorite time of year.

Families get together, they come from all parts of the continent. really seem to enter into the spirit of things. A tradition in our family, for many Christmases, has been to watch the movie Scrooge. It was taken from Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol, which was written in 1843. There have been several versions of this film, but my

favorite is George Minters. It was made in 1951 at Stardaw Estes Sim. It really seemed to capture the true essence of the Dickens novel. After all, the Christmas carol is a story of redemption. Dickens himself called it a sentimental romance. It just seemed to capture the true holiday spirit so well. Why don't you and your families join me in

watching this Christmas classic, Scrooge. I've distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I'm going to relate.

The register of his burial was signed by Scrooge, and Scrooge's name was good on the Lumen Exchange for anything he chose to put his hand to. You're a servant, sir. Are you all home to keep Christmas?

I am not in the habit of keeping Christmas, sir. Then why are you leaving so early? Because, sir, Christmas is a habit of keeping men from doing business. Come in to nature a thing that ants, coil and grasshoppers sing and play, Mrs. Scrooge.

The end is what it is and the grasshopper is what it is and Christmas so is a humbug. Good day. Who are you? Samuel Wilkins, sir. Oh, yes. You owe me a little matter of twenty-odd pounds, I believe.
