@Bob I saw the musical with Kelsey Grammer. Still like Patrick Stewart as Scrooge

@Audrey try the movie musical with Albert Finney and see what you think. I think it came out in the mid 1970s.

It’s a good ‘un! I think I read it last Christmas, and probably will again this year, but I suddenly got the urge for a longer Dickens novel yesterday, so I started on a re read of The Old Curiosity Shop. It feels very cosy getting to meet all those old friends (and enemies )again…in fact even the title is comfortable!

I love A Christmas Carol. Someday I want to,have a dinner party where everyone dresses in period costumes, and we recreate the Cratchit family Christmas dinner. Maybe skip the gin-and-lemons punch, though.

Plum pudding sounds good, though. I made it once years ago. It was a lot of work, and I couldn’t get the brandy to flame (think it wasn’t high enough proof).

Good idea…except I would do without the goose with its head remaining!

@Cameron I forgot that detail! I think I would do without the head.

And remember the Cratchit also had a turkey for Christmas Day, thanks to the reformed Scrooge. I always imagined they invited some of the neighbor over, to share their bounty.
