This is a fun watch.

J. Draper gets SERIOUSLY nit-picky about "The Muppet Christmas Carol", and as a nit-picker myself, I enjoy seeing how others do it.

I can also see why some of her nit-picks were subordinate to the requirements of a different medium, though I second her curiosity as to why the development of Scrooge's youthful character was changed between book and screen.

It would have been easy to retain the original book character (Scrooge didn't always hate Christmas, but a succession of Bad Things happened at the holiday season and soured him on it). The change is as mysterious as that decision to delete one song ("When Love Is Gone") while leaving its complementary book-end song ("When Love Is Found") in place.

That at least has been corrected on Disney +, though AFAIK it's still not the Official Version and the corrected movie needs selected down among Extra Features.

*****

Funny thing, a large proportion of the YouTube comments are about Christmas Pudding and US ignorance of same. If Christmas Pud is mysterious, wait till they start finding out about Yorkshire Pudding, Pease Pudding and Black Pudding... :->

Edit: I completely forgot to note that this is my new art style! I'm not abandoning the other one, though. I'm only using this one for big drawing/possible animation projects, or little quick drawing/character tests.

ShLep decided to be pudding for Christmas!!!

(This is actually my first time drawing ShLep, so this was fun! ❤️)

I took a picture of Christmas Pudding 1.0 after turning it out of the mould, at my wife's insistence. I'm pleased to report that it looks like the Pictures On The Internet of Christmas Pudding—so far so good! Now it's wrapped up and put away.

It has a generous half-cup of brandy in it, which I can say from experience is a bonkers insane amount of hard alcohol to put into a cake. One time I tried to replicate a rum cake using a recipe I found, but decided that I needed to double the rum from one-quarter cup to one-half cup. The resulting cake was edible, but unpleasantly alcoholic. I'm hoping that after the mellowing process for the Christmas Pudding it will have less of a bite of hard spirits.

The last pudding frontier for me is using a pudding cloth! I would love to create one of those speckled cannonballs from Victorian illustrations, and I also feel like it would be easier to fit inside a pot.

Life itself, she thought, as she went upstairs to dress for dinner, was stranger than dreams and far, far more disordered.

The mysterious Sailor's English Plum Pudding

Today something delicious and rather curios. But read for yourself. This story is listed by Dr. Chase in his book Dr. Chase's last receipt book and household physician. It tells how a plum pudding managed to save a ship in a storm at Christmas. Whether this story is really true is up to you to decide.

The Story:

It was about the stormiest voyage I have ever experienced. We left Hook on 5 November 1839 in a real storm and got into even worse weather off the Banks (Newfoundland), and it got dirtier with every mile we went. The old man was a bit gruff and anxious, and it wasn't easy to get on with him. This is not a Christmas story, and it has no moral. I was second mate and knew the captain quite well, but he was not very sociable, and the nearer we got to land after our billet (for we had no chance to make an observation), the grumpier he became.

On the 24th I was eating my dinner when the steward came in and said, "Captain, plum pudding tomorrow, as usual, sir?" It would be rude of me to echo the captain's reply, but the steward didn't care.

All night and the next day, December 25, it was a howling gale, and the captain remained on deck. At about 3 o'clock on Christmas Day dinner was ready, and it was very difficult to get the food from the galley into the cabin because the green sea was sweeping over the ship. The old man came down after a while and said, "Where's the pudding?"

Then the steward came in, pale as a ghost, and showing an empty bowl, said, "Washed overboard, sir." I need not repeat what the captain said. Somehow it looked as if the old man had tried to get a bit of courage with the pudding, and now there was none left.

I don't remember if it wasn't a passenger who said, "If only we could reach port safely, the pudding wouldn't matter in a storm like this." I think the old man would have liked to rip his head off for interfering with the ship's regulations.

At that moment the cook came into the cabin with a bowl in his hand and said, "There's another pudding. I've cut it in half," and he placed a nice big pudding on the table. Then the old man reached for the pudding and cut it into large pieces, helping the passenger last with a sort of triumphant look.

He had hardly swallowed a mouthful when the first mate came running up and said, "Lizard light on the starboard bow, and the weather is improving." "What's her course?" "East-north." "Then give her a full three points more north, sir, and praise the Lord." And the captain gulped down his pudding in three gulps, went on deck and said only, "I knew the pudding would do it," and left us.

Three days later we were in Liverpool, although nothing was ever heard of a ship that had left New York a day before us. - (https://archive.org/details/drchasesthirdlas01chas/page/332/mode/2up?q=plum+pudding)
