The Dutch Tolkien Society has released a CD titled Songs from Middle-earth from The Hobbitons, which can be ordered through various mail order sources. This is released by Classico Records and likely available through the many European-based book and ephemera mail order companies. I personally like the recent Muppets' adaptation, with Michael Caine obviously enjoying his performance as Scrooge. Or, for a change, try A Christmas Story , based on humorist Jean Shepherd's remembrances of growing up in Indiana in the 1940s. Events Celebrate the holiday atmosphere and take someone out to a movie, play, or musical performance.
Films are a universally popular and easy entertainment.
The holidays are a good excuse. Even many small communities host holiday productions of The Nutcracker ballet or A Christmas Carol , and check local papers for play versions of The Hobbit , The Wizard of Oz or The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe , other popular offerings particularly for children's theater groups. If you live in or near a city, the possibilities are even more promising. Lots of information on local theater and musical events can be found on-line. Return to Mythopoeic Society home page.
