Every year I have Christmas traditions. These range from eating a chocolate before it's placed on the Christmas tree, watching the Muppet Christmas Carol that I wrote about last year, swapping pre-Christmas presents with friends and also watching 'Scrooge! The Musical'
I love this film. The first time I discovered it my friend and I were browsing through different channels on Christmas Eve and on it came three quarters of the way through. It was the part with the ghost of Christmas future and Scrooge falling down into his grave. We found it quite amusing because it was an older film and the special effects weren't obviously up to much those days. So we carried on watching and came upon a song called 'Thank You Very Much' sung by a character called Tommy Jenkins. It quickly became an instant favourite and we waited patiently for the next Christmas where we managed to enjoy the film in full.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! That song has been in my head for weeks now and I can't stop singing it! I am well and truly in the Christmas spirit and have already been spoilt by close friends for Christmas and my birthday which happens to fall on Boxing Day.
At this time of year there was really only one choice for a Christmas themed post and watching this film has been a festive tradition of mine for many years.
The Muppet Christmas Carol is amazing and great fun. If any of you reading this haven't seen this film then you certainly have been missing out. This is probably my most watched film of all time and I have always been a huge Muppets fan! I originally had this film on VHS as a Christmas present back in the 90's and at first put it on for about 10 seconds and then turned it off! As I was so young I only liked watching cartoons at the time and threw a tantrum when I realised it was live action! Haha! Then it turned out to be one of my favourite ever films.
