One lived in the impression that nobody could ever compete with the 'Nutcracker' or 'A Christmas Carol.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A Christmas Carol is such a fool-proof story you can't louse it up.
'A Christmas Story' has always meant a lot to me personally.
'A Christmas Carol' has been described as the most perfect of Dickens's works and as a quintessential heart-warming story, and it is certainly the most popular.
I grew up in a time when the only musicals were animated musicals because nobody wanted to see people to break into song.
When December comes, can 'The Nutcracker' be far behind? No, it can't - not in America, anyway.
I was once part of a Christmas cabaret. I sang 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.' I tap-danced. I had a ten-gallon hat. It was quite absurd.
The only time I even entertain the tiniest element of religion is for Christmas carols.
We never really had any kind of a Christmas. This is one part where my memory fails me completely.
I saw the Nutcracker to be a dummy as I thought of its mouth moving like a nutcracker - and also find them pretty scary as they almost have a life of their own.
'The Nutcracker' is the ballet that keeps on giving.
