December 7th: A Christmas Carol

Enjoying some version of A Christmas Carol is a must for me this time of year.  I think the story is timeless classic with a beautiful message--it's never too late to change and correct our mistakes.  I'm so grateful we can always improve and repent.  

My nieces and nephews were in a play of A Christmas Carol so I wanted to introduce the girls to the story hoping that would help them pay better attention during the play. 
My childhood bff and I loved the Muppets movie.  We would laugh ourselves silly and watch it over and over.  We had a movie night and watched it with our kids, who didn't laugh nearly as much as us.  

But the girls really enjoyed the movie and songs when we watched it in the car.  The songs are super catchy and get stuck in your head easily.

Doesn't he look great?!  My sister-in-law did his make-up.
The girls and I loved seeing their cousins in the play!

What is your favorite version of this Christmas classic?

  2. I forgot to mention our Christmas tradition is "A Christmas Story". It is more fun to watch Greg's expressions than the movie. :) He loves it so much!

  3. I have to laugh about your Muppets comment. I used to watch as a kid with my family all the time...we loved the Muppets. Jeff can't stand the Muppets and says he's always thought they were so annoying and not funny at all. What does he know?! :) And wow!!! Jacob Marley looks awesome!
