Leo G Carroll as Marley, and the ever popular Tiny Tim announcing God Bless Us, Every One.

Hands down my favorite!

If you like Spooky, Jim Carey as Scrooge in the animated version is spine tingling.

I watched about five this season and even a very old one that was really bad that I’d never seen before. Only got halfway through it.

Looking forward to seeing Johnny Depp as Ebeneezer.
