Humor throughout

From Scrooge's nephew poking fun saying Happy New Year as he leaves to the great fun of the transformation and Father Christmas fun in the finale, this is my favorite version of "A Christmas Carol" simply because of the little spots of humor throughout. My favorite humorous scene by far is with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge never realizes that he has passed away and the crowd cheers as he is making a speech. Little does Scrooge realize, the crowd is cheering because Tom Jenkins is tearing up Scrooge's debt book behind his back!
I can just imagine the Ghost doing a "face palm" because of Scrooges ignorance!

Exactly! That's what I always say about that scene (Including the Ghost Facepalming). I also like when Scrooge calls Marley an old potato and the look Marley gives him (Why You!)

So long and thanks for all the fish!
