"Not a single Christmas goes by that I don't watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Die Hard, Scrooged, Love Actually, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (1966), The Snowman, and so forth. But more than any of those films, Mickey's Christmas Carol -- starring Scrooge McDuck as the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge -- fills me with the sort of whimsy and warmth that I enjoyed as a child on Christmas Eve."
