Deck the halls with boughs of holly! 'Tis the season to be watching 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1992), of course, and the 'Even More Eyes' are no exception.

Like a certain three ghosts, Imo, James and returning guest (and Muppet fanatic) Josh, will take you through their past remembrances and present revelations on this beloved thirty-year old Christmas classic.

Is the spirit of Charles Dickens' famous novel still there amid the puppetry? Is this Michael Caine's finest performance? Does it surpass 'Muppet Treasure Island' (1996)? And how might the sentiments, songs and social critique resonate today in Tory Britain?

The trio will reveal all- and much more- after their recent trip to the Sing-A-Long performance at the Prince Charles Cinema in London's Leceister Square.

Happy holidays and thanks to all our listeners!! We'll be back in the New Year!

And as Tiny Tim observed, 'God Bless Us, Everyone' *cough* *splutter* *cue tears*
