Merry Christmas!

 Merry Christmas!

Forty Years?

Of course, I also re-watch 1983's "Mickey's Christmas Carol" every holiday season as well and it's always fun!

Hard to believe it's 40 years old this year!

The Cartoon Research website just posted a nice article about it.

Read it here!

Good info as expected from Cartoon Research!

Maybe It Stands for Johnny?

So, I was watching the 1938 MGM version of "A Christmas Carol" again, as I do every holiday season.

This time, however, I noticed that TCM had the Descriptive Video Service option for the move, so I turned it on, as I think it's kind of an interesting way to watch (hear) something you've seen before.

I raise my hand to admit that I never noticed, until the narrator mentioned it, that the sign for Fezziwig's warehouse has the first initial of "J" included?

I spend so much time nitpicking the movie that I guess I just have overlooked it all these years!

So, what does it stand for?

Is it Just Me...

 Or is there a serious lack of new Scrooge/"A Christmas Carol" content this year?

                                                  

I Sort of Get It!

Now that we've hit December and the heat is kicking in more often: 

I get it (gas prices are higher), but I don't get it (I don't speak pounds)!
