Tiny Tim said it best
Category: Life

Every year to prepare for Christmas, we always watch Henson’s Muppet’s Christmas Carol. I love the original Charles Dickens classic and I remember watching the theater production in college. I love the story. But the Muppet version is something as a family we watch and discuss.

We talk about literature and wordsmiths. We talk about the richness of language: “solitary as an oyster” or “the ghost of Christmas present” or “there’s more of gravy than the grave about you”. We talk about a lot more than Christmas. We talk about the sacredness of people. We talk about greed and the disease of “more”. We talk about what it really means to care for others. We talk about making advent last all year long when we live the coming of Christ daily. ” In our prayers and dreams we ask you bless us all”…. from Henson’s Muppet’s Christmas Carol
