Well, nothing really watch over here when it comes to theater.
However- every December, there is always a collection of movies I wish to watch. “A Christmas Carol” is the biggest- that has been a family tradition for a pretty long time- that is the George C. Scott one. Due to that being my favorite Christmas movie, we have to watch “The Man Who Invented Christmas” first.
