Dickens never says they aren't muppets in the original

Honestly feel it'd take longer to watch the movie.

I've read it every year for years now (self imposed tradition) and it take me about 4 days with an hour or so a day. Not a long book by any stretch.

I'm also of the opinion that The Muppet Christmas Carol is both the best and most accurate adaptation.

I love the Muppet Christmas Carol, also the one with Sir Patrick Stewart.

The Amazon version is 64 pages for example.

I found Patrick Stewart's audio reading of A Christmas Carol to be rather delightful.
