Those were Atreyu's choices.  That said, didn't the kid receive the Mogwai (sp?)
as a Christmas gift?

Two good ones, for sure!

MM> Did you know there are over 40 different versions of A

MM>    Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol
MM>    Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol
MM>    Scrooged
MM>    The Muppet Christmas Carol
MM>    A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart)

No I did not know that.  Out of the list above, the first two would be my
favorites, followed by the Muppet's.   I somehow wind up watching the Bugs
Bunny version at least once per Christmas season.

MM> Santa, acts as all the spirits. 

I vaguely remember the Married: With Children version and it was good.

I think my favorite sitcom version, by a long shot, is a WKRP in Cincinnati
episode where Mr. Carlson is Scrooge and the three spirits are Jennifer, Venus,
and Johnny Fever.
