Without googling, can you identify this quote for the xmas season: "I let you go with

[CTyankee]

a full heart. May you be happy in the life you have chosen."

Who said it and to whom?

Please, no googling.

[GallopingGhost]

1. Belle, the young

lady who had won the heart of young Ebenezer before money became his obsession and chilled his heart.

No googling, I swear. Love that book and movie(s)

[CTyankee]

2. Great! I thought her name was Fan (probably short for Fanny or Frances).

Which is your favorite version of "A Christmas Carol"?

[mcar]

3. Mr Magoo

One edit: as another poster noted, Fan was his sister, Belle his love. The George C Scott version is my 2nd fave, Patrick Stewart 3rd.

[CTyankee]

5. Wasn't there a Disney princess named Belle?

[mcar]

12. Beauty and the Beast

The live action version came out this year with Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Dan Stevens (Cousin Matthew, Downtown Abbey), in the title roles. Nicely done. Its on Netflix, I believe.

6. Mr. Magoo is mine too.

13. The Alastair Sim version still gets the tears

However, I have probably watched it no more than 20 times. or so.

This is, I think, the best version

16. I love Mr. Magoo version too. I'd remembered it from early childhood and then there were many years

when I couldn't find it on tv or anywhere. Glad it is back now.

[mcar]

20. I bought the DVD for that very reason

[GeoWilliam750]

7. Fan was his sister

[CTyankee]

9. oops. Thanks for correcting my bad memory...

[GeoWilliam750]

10. And he never forgave his nephew, Fred

Whose birth resulted in the death of his dear sister, Fan.

[yardwork]

17. He forgave Fred at the end, after the ghosts visited him.

[GeoWilliam750]

18. So he did, indeed

[mcar]

14. That's right

I will correct my erroneous post.

[GallopingGhost]

11. Fan was his sister,

mother of his nephew Fred. She died in childbirth.

I love them all. The version with George C. Scott rocks, but if you get a chance to watch the version with Patrick Stuart, do. It's fantastic. He's one of my favorite actors.

[CTyankee]

15. we've seen them all and every year at this time. It is one of my husband's passions...

and he's Jewish (converted from Congregationalist).

4. My first graders loved A Christmas Carol that was animated.

Any story that has a ghost (let alone 3 of them) gets thumbs up from 6 year olds. My favorite version is the one with George C. Scott (1984).

[CTyankee]

8. Hubby and I like it too. Every xmas season he watches all the versions of "A Christmas

Carol" plus "Miracle on 34th St." and assorted others.

[BigmanPigman]

22. It is on AMC right now, and I missed most of it! Damn!

[monmouth4]

19. I had never seen the George C. Scott version, just watched it and was pleasantly

surprised.

[mcar]

21. It was a great one
