A holiday treat!

I want to start out by admitting I really don't like musicals. I usually find them silly, boring and they give me a headache. Thankfully none of these happened any of the times I watched NBC's enchanting musical starring Kelsey Grammar as Scrooge. What a delight! The songs were very good, the production values superb and the true spirit of Dickens' novel came through! I was particularly impressed with Grammar's Scrooge and Jesse L. Martin as the Ghost of Christmas Present. I really only watched this because I adore Jennifer Love Hewitt, I'd watch her in hour-long commercial for fruit! But I really thought this was just great. Every time I watch I like it better!

Trivia
In the Christmas Past segment, Scrooge's father going to prison and Scrooge working at the boot factory are taken from Dickens' own childhood and not from 'A Christmas Carol'.

Goofs
A few women are seen at the London Exchange including two maids. Women were actually forbidden to be in places like the Exchange in Victorian times as it was reserved for men only.

Quotes
Jacob Marley: You don't believe in me. Do you doubt your senses?
Ebenezer Scrooge: A little thing can affect the senses. You may be a bit of undigested beef, a blot of mustard, an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than the grave about you, whatever you are.
