Merry Christmas


There have been many adaptations of Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' since it was published in 1843 and here we are over 150 years later and there is a new version out. It has Jim Carrey as Scrooge, with Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and Bob Hoskins helping out on the other characters. The films CGI looks amazing and so I will be taking a little niece and nephew along to watch it over the Christmas period. Although most of us have seen and heard the story many times before I think this version will surpass all others as the quality and attention to detail is amazing. However I do have a love of the versions that have gone before and I will share them with you below. The Disney version, The Jim Henson version and the Alastair Sim's 1951 version which has such a different quality to it and is very magical all in it's own right.

So to all my blog readers, wherever you are this Christmas have a lovely inspirational time.
