Here Comes Mr. Scrooge!
Dickens, Muppets, and shanty bands
Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
What a joy to have reached this day. Today I’m celebrating with a special Christmassy post at the Arena on the subject of a particular version of a particular Christmas song about that particular Dickensian Christmas party pooper, Ebenezer Scrooge.
Read it here:
“Ebenezer Scrooge and the Shanty Band”
I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I do — whether just for its fun or for its broader meaning.
Merry Christmas!

& , who wanted to see this!
ha! This is great! I'm over here laughing because the Muppets Christmas Carol is actually my favorite version of Dicken's story. I really should start a tradition with my family where we watch it every year. Scratch that. I should start a tradition where I bribe my kids with cookies to watch it with me. lol. I'm not sure they love it as much as me. But it is best viewed with others (complete with a peanut gallery).
I enjoyed the article! When I start to grumble about the work associated with a merry Christmas, I’ll just start to sing, “Here comes Mr. Humbug…” That should cheer me right up!
