    Nope. And no to the muppets Christmas Carol. It was a scene from Mister Magoo’s version of A Christmas Carol.

    No it wasn't actually! It was a Canadian actor (as they nearly always are, masquerading as American:D) - his name is Scott Cavalheiro

    Twas but a random punt. Vaguely remember the secretary's young son that didnt talk watching tv & thought it might be shown that he was watching on TV & guessed at the muppets.

    We watched Klaus for the first time last night and it is very good, felt very Christmassy after it! Its definitely going to be added to the regular Christmas viewing list!

    Not a huge fan of mulled wine or cider TBH, but cider over ice on a warm day can be a refreshing beverage!

    LOL... still prefer a nice pale ale or IPA myself.

    Speaking of christmas & drinks (loose connection, I know) but my Mrs showed me the new chocolate Baileys coming out... as a fan of Baileys & partial to a small bit of chococlate reckon we'll be needing to taste that between now & christmas.
    Hope its nicer than the Strawberries & Cream Baileys which is awful though...

    We had Jumanji (the original) on in the background as it was on tv, the ending is so Christmasy. We also had Frozen on and it was the first film our little 18 month old elf seemed half interested in.

    OK so the mainstream movies which should be out (fingers crossed) this Christmas are five.
    Big increase from last year - when there were only two: Last Christmas on cinema release and then Klaus on Netflix (which I am still yet to see and have heard great things about)
    1. Happiest Season - with Kristen Stewart
    2. Perfect Strangers - indie movie from Scotland
    3. Fatman - with Mel Gibson
    4. A Boy Called Christmas - with Maggie Smith, Jim Broadbent and Sally Hawkins
    5. Silent Night - with Keira Knightley

    My kids loved that trilogy of books 'The boy called Christmas' was part of, fingers crossed the film as as good.
