It's really a well-done version of Dicken's tale.  Good family, Christmas fare.

Yes, good call!  The early scenes where Slade & Co. make their rounds repossessing the people's goods while dirge versions of Christmas carols play is so sad.  Also, instead of hoarding money, Slade hoards a warehouse full of goods, so American.

@LJo1:disqus  I remember having go to the bank on Fridays to cash my paycheck.  Then you had to get enough cash to last for the next week.  Seems so ridiculous now.  Now I very rarely carry cash at all.  Electronic banking must have put a crimp in the pick pocket industry.
