Female Friday It’s Christmas, Carol is a 2012 A Christmas Carol adaptation produced for The Hallmark Channel in the U.S. This is the first time I’ve put it on the annual blog. It’s Christmas, Carol belongs to the increasing number of adaptations with a female lead. It’s one of two […]
“interesting” is the nicest one-word description I can give to the new A Christmas Carol presented in its entirety on FX in the U.S. last night. It’s how I would picture A Christmas Carol taking place in a dystopian alternate reality. My original intention was to not write much about […]
I didn’t plan on adding the 1949 version called The Christmas Carol this year whether I watched it or not. Because I was in the hospital for many hours the other day, it fell into place in my schedule. I didn’t view my DVD in the comfort of my home; […]
Traditional Tuesday To be upfront, this post is another reworking of one that has been made in previous years. This is partially because my perception is still fixed and I’ve already done most of the “footwork” for what I like to include. The first U.S. sound film version of A […]
Musical Monday The Stingiest Man in Town is the second musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol I viewed tonight. This post if really just a rehash of last year’s with some minor updates. My perception of this adaptation is unchanged. This is a very good show and I have to […]

Because the silent versions are generally short and only a handful remain, I watch all that are available every year. The 1913 silent version is another offering from England. This […]
The 1994 Japanese / American joint venture is probably best for child viewing. It is one of the ones I don’t watch consistently every year. The last time I watched it was 2015. It was released on DVD in the early 2000’s. This endeavor is pretty traditional; however, there’s nothing […]
Female Friday <bonus> This is a second post for “Female Friday” but I wasn’t able to post it until after midnight. Therefore, it is appearing as a Saturday post. A Christian Carol is strange little adaption from 2017. Last year was the first time I viewed it. After a second […]
Female Friday As I stated in last Friday’s post, the last decade of the 20th Century introduced the first adaptation of A Christmas Carol where the main character of Scrooge, at least, is portrayed as a female instead of male. Ebbie is the first big production version of A Christmas […]
