I prefer the 1951 UK "Scrooge" version, with Alastair Sim in the title role; I assume there was a legal reason for choosing that title, although it was released in the US as "A Christmas Carol".
That pedantic observation made, my attachment began in my earliest childhood; in Philadelphia, c. 1960, they used to televise it late on Christmas Eve. My Maternal Unit would let her three pajama-clad children stay up and watch it-- we were too hyped to go to bed early anyway.
As the youngest of the three, I was appropriately terrified of Jacob Marley and the ghosts-- but I still enjoyed it. 👻 Such memories of Christmas past continue to inform the present, as Scrooge himself finally came to understand.
It's also the source of a line I've adopted and recycled, which I'm doing here: Mrs. Dilber, Scrooge's mousy housekeeper, repeats it in the face of tragedy and death: "Merry Christmas, if it ain't out o' keepin' with the situation!" Selah. 🎅 🎄 ⛄ 🎁

Life everywhere is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, 'SMART', AI, 5G, NO CASH - ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!
AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos - garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!
I know it's corny, but I'll be watching the Reginald Owens A Christmas Carol tonight. In spite of it all, I do want to believe in redemption.
Not corny! That's a GREAT movie. I may watch it, as well.
