Christmas Spirit
I flipped by it a bit late, but AMC is showing the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol tonight. The one with Alastair Sim.
Single greatest verstion of this story. No other comes close. Really.
Watch for it and mark your TiVos. Better yet, drop the dime, buy the DVD, and make watching this version an annual event, along with A Christmas Story.

My kids watched "A Christmas Story" the other night and laughed out loud the whole time. It's the circle of life.
I laugh out loud the whole time. Triple dog dares, breach of playground etiquette, the Scott Farkus affair, fudge, the leg, Melinda Dillon tasting the Lifebuoy soap, dad fighting and swearing with the heater...classic stuff.
I can't fully describe the joy of watching my kids laugh out loud at the same jokes that have made me laugh for years.
You know, the recent version of A Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart was pretty fun. It was made maybe two or three years ago and I really enjoyed it. Still, the version from '51 was pretty great - I remember it from when I was a kid, even though the ghost of Christmas future scared the crap out of me.
