If only in his deams.
On Christmas Eve, a miserly businessman is visited by a series of ghosts who help him understand the true meaning of Christmas, along with showing him a frightening vision of a possible future.
And that businessman was named …. Benedict Slade!
Yeah, the name’s have been changed and the action has been updated to Depression-era New England but this is basically the story of Scrooge. Henry Winkler stars as the Scrooge character in the 1979 made-for-TV movie. His old age make-up was done by none other than Rick Baker!
This is one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite Christmas stories.
“You sit on a throne of lies!”

Awwwwww! Gwen and Blake are so cute together. (No, I don’t want to hear about those break-up rumors right now! It’s the holidays!)
There’s a lot of reasons why this video works but really, it all comes down to charisma and chemistry. Gwen and Blake look like they should be celebrating Christmas together and, when you watch, you want to celebrate with them.
Enjoy!
I was eight when I first saw this and I immediately asked my parents if we could trade our big Christmas tree for a small one that just needed some extra care.

Today’s music video is sure to get you in the holiday mood!
This video is for No Doubt’s cover of a Christmas song by the Vandals. It’s a pretty simple video, actually. No Doubt is beating some guys up when they finally get the Christmas spirit. To be honest, I’ve always imagined that this what a typical day in the life of No Doubt is like.
Enjoy!
Today’s holiday movie is …. well, it’s a little bit odd.
Santa Claus is a 1959 Mexican film that reminds us that before he became an advertising icon, Nicholas Claus was a Catholic saint. According to this film, St. Nick also apparently lives in outer space with a bunch of singing children. His best friend is Merlin and he apparently gets along with Vulcan, the Roman God of fire, as well.
Perhaps angered by the way that Santa is beloved by children of all races and figures of all mythologies, Lucifer orders a little demon named Pitch to go to Earth and turn the children against Santa.
So yeah, Santa Claus is really weird. However, if you’ve ever wanted to see a movie where Santa is revealed to be a God-like action hero who holds the fate of the world in his hands, this is the film for you!
