Which is why I didn't add Bill Murray to the poll. Slippery slope. He's in a story
based on 'A Christmas Carol' and his character is not named Ebenezer Scrooge. If we start adding every loose adaptation, there will be 6,293 entries in the poll.
So, my preference for voting (tho certainly not for commenting) would be to limit to the actual, full-length adaptations of
A Christmas Carol, and leave out all the spoofs and send-ups and every sitcom ever made.
Oh, and despite the roughly 6,000 times each of us has seen some different form of
A Christmas Carol, I heartily recommend that - at least once in your life (if not every single Christmas time), you read the original Dickens. It's a treat.
