It's amazing to see the liberties directors and even writers take when "re-doing" a classic book. Regarding the book, how interesting to see a remix on the Christmas story done at an entirely different holiday season...sounds like a potential adventure to me! Thanks for sharing and happy reading!

Problem is, where to find a copy. Usually those in bargain bins aren't stocked at regular bookstores. Trust in luck and in my sis to root around for it in Manila. :) Oh, this book sounds interesting.
