Top 5 Christmas Films

It's less than 2 weeks till Christmas now (it always seems to come round quickly!), so I decided to write about my Top 5 Christmas films. This post contains spoilers.Unless otherwise stated the videos are trailers. :) 1. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) The Muppets' take on the classic story by Charles Dickens . Ebenezer Scrooge (played by Michael Caine ) is a very rich businessman, but he's also a miser who dislikes spending money and hates Christmas.  One Christmas Eve he is visited by 3 ghosts (the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future) who warn him that if he doesn't change his ways, he will end up forever alone and miserable and no one will mourn him when he dies. Gonzo plays Charles Dickens who narrates the story and Rizzo the Rat is his sidekick. Kermit the Frog plays Scrooge's employee Bob Cratchit and Miss Piggy is his wife.                       ...
