As is tradition, Rebecca and I sat at the wrapping station and prepped all the gifts for this year. Every year I'm the sellotape chap, but it was only this time round that I cottoned onto a really quick and easy way to do it all. It's so good that I'll no doubt forget next time round. As is also tradition, we watched a new version of a Christmas Carol, this time was Albert Finney's Scrooge which I had high hopes for. I'm always keen to see how different eras and people adapt the story and I read online this is the only film where the characters literally go visit Hell... Perhaps a liberty too far there. It's also a musical which was the hardest aspect to tolerate. It's a long standing joke in my family that Willy Wonka's 'Cheer Up Charlie' is one of the worst songs to hit the silver screen, and Scrooge had half a dozen songs as poor as that. Likely won't make it into our regular rotation but glad to have seen it.
