The rest of the special is pretty cute, and will get you in the right mood. Especially if you have a fondness for classic Cartoon Network.

When you see the “Permanent Naughty Plaque,” which is the only other list we see, it’s all inside jokes and no Mojo Jojo, Him, or anyone other villain.

My suspension of disbelief can’t handle it. That’s not the kind of thing it can easily ignore.

I think you see this also in the Muppet Christmas Carol, come to think of it. Although I wonder how much of that is just because it’s Statler and Waldorf. Can’t really have them going out of character, can you?

They weren’t taught emotional regulation skills (and unfortunately didn’t teach a lot of us either). So once an angry episode starts, they don’t know what to do besides let it run its course.

I’ve had so many plastic trees in recent years, and I think they look fine. Definitely are more convenient in some ways, but fr. I LOVE the smell you get when you take a pine needle and break it in half.

I also adore Alec Guinness as Marley. Even if he’s been dead 7 years and regrets a lot of his life decisions, is that enough time to entirely rewrite his personality?

So he’s a bit of a troll to Scrooge in small moments. Makes sense to me, when you think of what a dick he was in life.

He was cruel, yes, but he was also apathetic, closing himself off from his fellow men. He thinks everyone should live the way he does; in the cold and dark of winter just because it’s cheap. If they did, they wouldn’t be poor and suffering. Nevermind that he himself is miserable and hoarding money.

Yeah. We’re visiting family and this was within a little driving distance

Also, holy internalized ableism, Batman.
