Fun fact? Christmas used to traditionally be pretty spooky. Stuff like the Wild Hunt and such were centred around the Solstice, and there’s a tradition of ghost stories, of which the most prominent surviving example is A Christmas Carol.

I say we keep Halloween as it is, make Christmas spooky, and replace Thanksgiving with a new spooky holiday that's also about land back!

I'm fine with the line "The spirits can do anything they like," but yeah I can see how people get hung up on the logistics.

Really interesting article. I also have a (far less mathematical) system of scoring adaptations that I’ll be revealing soon. Even then, we have some major differences. Check it out!

I think Mickey's Christmas Carol will be the first time when my thoughts about an adaptation will run longer than the adaptation itself (It's only 25 minutes long! This won't be a habit for me.)

I was listening to a podcast the other day that said Young Scrooge was a classic victim of Boarding School Syndrome. Dickens was an extraordinary man.

"And I realise I'm now giving footnotes on my footnotes..." 😂This podcast is a delight.

As is the final stave. Hearing it read out loud brings such life to the words and reminds me of little pieces that I have loved over the years.

We're getting closer to the premiere of Season 2 of the podcast. To hold you over, here's the final episode of A CHRISTMAS CAROL DEEP DIVE, covering the final stave of the book!

As I'm working on season 2 of the podcast, I'm realizing that one of my biggest pet peeves with adaptations is a scene of Young Scrooge being grumpy or stingy. The suggestion that he was always this way shows a total lack of understanding that is hard to come back from.
