I will conclude this annual rewatch of #MuppetChristmasCarol by reiterating that the movie sans "When Love is Gone" is a sub par movie geared towards uncultured and emotional vapid children, real men (or whomever) watch the uncut version so that they may dwell in the pain of self-inflicted loss

There are just two racoons singing about how they found love.
This is obviously a metaphor for how turkey is a trash bird only fit for trash pandas.

Look how wonderful I am

Beginning of the movie: "no other business will be open with which to do business, Mr Scrooge"
End of the movie: Scrooge hits up every store, shop, and business in London first thing Christmas morning.

This is why you should never haunt relatives. "An unwanted creature, but not a rat, a leech, or a cockroach." " What is it?" " MY RICH UNCLE!"
Yeah, I wonder why Ebeneezer doesn't like hanging out with you.

Always and forever I will watch the entirely of "When Love is Gone." It is 1) vital to Scrooge's story: fall and redemption; 2) pivotal to the movie's flow; and 3) prepares the audience for the full emotional turn at the finale in "When Love is Found" #MuppetChristmasCarol #ParableoftheLostCoin

The drum at Fozziwig's party is made from a barrel of ginger beer. It is played by a red-fur'd Muppet.

If Disney ever released a high quality version of the busts on Scrooge's schoolhouse wall, you know exactly which ones I mean, I would buy them and mount them in my living room.

My tiny hill to die upon is that the scariest ghost is absolutely the Ghost of Christmas Past in #MuppetChristmasCarol she is frightening. I look at everything BUT her during her tour of sadness.

New Christmas tradition:
Break into rich people's fenced yards, climb a tree, and scream "EXPECT THE FIRST GHOST WHEN THE BELL TOLLS ONE!"
