So for Christmas and to kill time before I could open my presents (there was a mix up with them opening it on Christmas Eve and me going to bed at five pm...), I watched Muppet Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as Scrooge.

This (and possibly the Frog Prince) is my favourite muppet movie. There's a lot of reasons, like how much I like the songs and Rizzo and Gonzo's interactions. They're bros, yo. I love their little exchanges, asides, and the terrible things that happen to them.

This time was sort of impressed that Michael Caine managed to look emotionally moved by muppets singing about Christmas.

Young!Man Scrooge was also, well, kinda hot.

I also always feel sad during the bit where Bob/Kermit and Emily/Piggy talk about Tiny Tim's gravesite. Every damn time. I'm a sap.

This is what I watch instead of some peoples It's A Wonderful Life.

Do you know, I don't think I've ever seen it?

My favorite Christmas movie will always be Charlie Brown, I think.

Coincidentally, I've never seen a Charlie Brown Christmas.

Haha well, then, we fill the gaps in each other's Christmas movie knowledge.

Rizzo kisses Gonzo in mine.

Charlie Brown goes apeshit in mine. Well, as apeshit as anyone goes in Peanuts.
