It might be 8 weeks to Christmas (only 8 weeks??!!!!) but it felt festive in our house this week when Scarlett and I made use of two tickets I got sent at work for a preview of the new movie version of A Christmas Carol. It's Disney's first IMAX 3D movie, and directed by Robert Zemeckis in the same live action/animation hybrid style as The Polar Express. Jim Carrey plays 7 parts including Scrooge and the 3 ghosts that visit him. We made a night of it with an exciting bus trip into the city (during which we passed a crime scene by the side of the road complete with dead body) and were given champagne, soft drinks and Christmas puddings alongwith our 3D glasses. It was an amazing experience, 'flying' over a snow-covered London with Scrooge and his ghostly tormentors, and quite frightening. Scarlett demonstrated her fear by twice leaping from her seat and once wrapping her arms around my neck. I'm not sure what she enjoyed more, the movie or the taxi ride home.
