Any novels or even movies that get close to A Christmas Carol?

Here is a novel published just last year that is absolutely wonderful! “The Year Without Christmas” by John M. Wills:

amazon.com/Year-Without-Christmas-John-Wills-ebook/dp/B00H91IBXQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1419173265&sr=1-1&keywords=wills%2C+john+m

Check out the author’s new novel, “Healer”, released this year. These are good Catholic novels with wonderful, inspiring characters!

Thanks bluerose, I will check it out.

The Three Kings (1987)

Here’s the link: youtube.com/watch?v=jbRIZibGqWk

It’s about three inmates of a mental asylum who escape. They think they’re the 3 Kings looking for the Christ Child. By the end of the film, you’re convinced that they really are the 3 kings, or at least Melchoir is a king.

We have an old VHS tape of the movie, and I just love it.

Sounds quite interesting Cat, I will look at this, too.

Thanks.

(Also, the Fourth Wiseman with Martin Sheen is on every year on EWTN some time around Christmas. It’s pretty good.)

"…You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"

And a Merry (albeit early) Christmas to you, MW1T68!

As I’m watching my DVD on my laptop I’m at the point where Marley is about to pass away and my computer just shuts off. So I re-start and try again, same thing happens. This does this 3 times and I’ve now given up. I’m just going to watch it on the tv after my wife goes to bed. She doesn’t like old movies. Anyway Merry Christmas to you too!

Baaah! Humbug!!



I looked for this version at Wal-Mart…I think they’re sold out…last time i watched it i think was borrowing it from the church library…I’m bummed not to be able to see it yet…maybe I shall have to order it from Amazon. Turner has not released the rights it seems for online distribution.

For now, I will settle for listening to an excellent version of the unabridged book.

If you can get the Fox Movie Channel on the internet they are showing it tomorrow at 6:00 pm CST.

Peace, Mat

And a Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I think as I recall, I do have the VHS back at my mom’s house, so I will have to dig for it upon my arrival there Christmas day!
