Happy Holiday Alexa!
Happy Holidays, everyone! Do you
have a favorite holiday movie? I do! I love almost any version of A Christmas
Carol. I will watch cartoon versions, TV movie adaptations, stage productions.
As a middle school teacher, I’ve had my students perform the play for other
classes and I’ve guided student groups to create their own version of the play.
I love the story of Scrooge and how his heart opens to the world around him. I
love that the movie expresses what our world should be like no matter what our
differences are.
My favorite version of the movie
is the 1951 black and white version starring Alistair Sim. I don’t know why
this is my favorite. I think part of it might be because in that time period,
Hollywood didn’t have all the bling and pizzazz with movie production it has
now, but the actors still managed to give such a charming life to an age-old
story we can all relate to.
The years I lived alone, several
hundred miles from my family and with no money to fly home, it became a
tradition to watch it on Christmas Eve. After dinner, I would plug in the
Christmas tree lights, light up candles in the living room, open my gifts
people had sent me, and then sit on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate while
I watched the movie. (Don’t worry. I wasn’t alone for the whole holiday! I
worked early Christmas morning & then spent the day with my closest friend
and her family.)
