Watched The Man Who Invented Christmas on HBO/Max. I thought it was a biography of Dickens, but its not.
Then we followed up with Muppet Christmas Carol and Disney's Christmas Carol because the Halbfinale need a frame of reference for the first show.

two muppets are chained to each other and one is laughing
Alt: Two Muppets playing the role of Jacob Marley in Muppet Christmas Carol are wearing chains while doing a dance number. Jacob was given a brother in this version so the two critic Muppets could share Jacob's part.

My father was a twin. His brother was adopted by their grandparents. This means my father was both a twin and an only child.
Best part? Listening to my kids trying to explain it to other people.
