Saved for Christmas Eve eve, here’s the classic 1951 movie version of Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas tale, with Alastair Sim as a perfectly miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. Which reminds me of yet another family holiday memory: One year when I was a teenager, and my dad was working until midnight one of the nights before Christmas, he asked me to decorate the house with some outdoor lights around the front bay window. I did – by writing out, in blinking giant letters, the word “HUMBUG.”
