It also scares me to death -- all season I'm on edge because I watch every Christmas Carol show/movie/production shown on TV and I've collected just about all of them on DVD. I'm even working on a screenplay of A Christmas Carol with a twist. Who knows, perhaps soon you'll see a production of my version of this classic.

What's your favorite version? Mine is the Patrick Stewart one, but Scrooged is one of my all-time favorite Christmas flicks.

I've never seen the Patrick Steward version. I own a copy (on tape!) of the George C. Scott/Hallmark Hall of Fame version, which I watch every year. I like it for its production values (filmed on location in Coventry), and it's great supporting cast, including David Warner, Edward Woodward, Roger Rees, Frank Finlay, Susannah York, and a host of other fine British actors.
It also introduced me to "The Sussex Carol," a lovely traditional English Christmas carol.

Not to get OT, but IMO, the Patrick Stewart one was boring. Never thought I'd say that about something Patrick Stewart is in. :P The George C. Scott one I didn't buy maybe it's his face, but he never looks remorseful. I like the older versions and the Albert Finney musical one. The movie Scrooged disappointed me, because
SPOILER AHEAD!!!
all the guy did at the end was say 'Sorry'. He didn't make it up to anyone.
