Why do you keep saying that?

Oh, I don’t know! Maybe it’s my freaking autism that makes me say that!

It's a tradition to start the Christmas season with the perfect Christmas movie, Muppet Christmas Carol. Great story, wonderful songs and the Muppets in their best movie ever. We watch this movie constantly during November and December.

Hot take maybe, but muppet Christmas carol is the best version of that story in my opinion. And Michael caine should have won an Oscar for his scrooge. He was fantastic.

I also watch a Muppet family Christmas. That's my all time favorite Christmas special. The music is great, it's very very funny, and you get Muppets, fraggles and sesame Street.

That's a hard one for me, but Muppets is definitely top-tier in adaptations for that beloved story. Caine was brilliant.

Another good musical version is the 1970 musical "Scrooge" with Albert Finney playing Ebenezer.
That one has the best ending (imo) with the catchy showtune "Thank You Very Much".


I'd probably have to rank Scrooge and Muppets as a tie overall, and Caine as the best portrayal of Ebenezer.

I love seeing Jim Henson doing the dishes at the end.

The two John Denver Muppet specials are also required viewing this season. There is some good and pure about them.

We love Scrooge the musical. Ben Kenobi is very scary in it.

It was just a couple years ago that it finally dawned on me that Kenobi is Marley...

...and I've been watching that movie at least once every Christmastime since probably the early 90's.
