A Christmas Carol
Hollywood knows how to do it up right. They either make sequels or remakes of anything that rings true at the box office. The traditional A Christmas Carol is no different.
It all started with A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Now there are so many versions I can’t possibly list them all.
There’s numerous cartoon versions. Including the classic Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
Then along came Barbie and she had to get a piece of the action too!
There’s the old movie version and the NEW movie version…..
Regardless, the story is a classic in the true tradition of Christmas…..until…..my daughter took her English class in college and studied the significance of much of the story. Evidently it’s a negative portrayal of a Jewish man, who knew? I thought it was about Scrooge and never even considered his ethnic or religious background. Needless to say she was quite disappointed and the class study of Dicken’s A Christmas Carol was not all she had hoped for. Me? I live in the land of hot chocolate and candycanes…so I’m going to keep seeing it as a lovely story of someone who came to love Christmas!
