Re: Holiday Thread
It's about the time of year to plug this 2009 novella of mine.
http://tygerbug.deviantart.com/art/Crat ... -284664395
Tiny Tim is dead. Scrooge remains a miserable old miser.
Bob Cratchit, a poor, underpaid clerk at the counting-house of Scrooge and Marley, has lost his youngest son. He is alone and freezing to death on a cold Christmas Eve, when he is visited by three spirits ....
"A wonderful new take on the characters from A Christmas Carol." - Carabosse's Library
"Thought-provoking … Like being given a new dose of Dickens." - Lara Burnett
"Beautifully written, intelligent, bold and a real surprise." - Steven Drachman (Author, The Ghosts of Watt O'Hugh)

Peculiar supercut of A Christmas Carol versions, and we're the source for some of this -- the Richard Williams version for sure.

As Jenny Nicholson noted, Netflix's A Christmas Prince cheaped out and featured a song that both clearly is and isn't "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree." It's changed just enough. There's also another track which seems to be their take on "Santa Baby?"

At the moment, the local 99 Cent Only store is selling (for $8) a singing, battery-powered Sia My Little Pony ...
