A Muppet Christmas Carol

We were supposed to have a copy of The Muppet Christmas Carol – Kermit’s 50th Anniversary edition. But our recent order from the Disney Movie Club got screwed up and instead of The Muppet Christmas Carol – Kermit’s 50th Anniversary edition, Mickey’s Once and Twice Upon a Christmas, we ended up with Lady and The Tramp II. Yesterday as I was going through our bills and whatnot I came across the invoice and called the Disney Movie Club to see how I could get this rectified. They were great. So very helpful. And even before I hung up the phone Allison received the e-mail confirmation that the movies were on their way. Disney Movie Club is really a good deal. And their customer service is awesome.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

I think my favorite Christmas movie is of course the timeless A Charlie Brown Christmas. The whole story is special in every way. Here is a a character, Charlie Brown, who is scorned by friends and family alike. He is a perpetual loser but he keeps trying. Despite being called a blockhead and being taunted he continues undaunted in his task to find the best Christmas Tree ever. Linus’ speech on the true meaning of Christmas is the most special part of the show. I also love the music throughout the show and always think of that as the Peanuts music. We even used that in our wedding. The scenes where everyone is goofing off and dancing are also fantastic. I just love the dances and snoopy strumming the base. What better Christmas movie is there?
