Who invented Christmas?

Scrub up and brush up -lads and ladies-

Season’s greetings, and tidings of joyful times spent during the generous helpings of this 'filmic' pudding.

Put on your Sunday suits ‘puddings’ for the latest ‘Scrooge’ adaptation of Dickens’s: ‘please sirs can we have some more and madams too.’ Film wise that is. 

Wink, wink.

'The man who invented Christmas' has a Charles Dickens conversation with Scrooge.

Story time children of all ages as actors succeed in bringing the old time favorite to life.

Good acting and moody broody settings all round.

The background is authentic upper lip; from the tea cups to the table settings.

The dress code is formal and romantic; complimenting the lit up colorful tree of seasonal greeting.  

You have to see it to live it as they say.

The mood is one of past to future and back to the present -in a twist ending of 'Oliver Twist' proportions.

Little ones survive and Scrooge turns into the most loving of all.

Dickens wanted this ending, and the round table characters come round in the end -as they say.

This movie mood is one of horror settings, at times, as well as of the popular Holmes/Poirot classics, in general. 

Detection below:

‘All suspects please round up for final countdown of truthful 'denouement' at the end line.’

The past is the ephemeral ghost of icy cold woman: the jealous Medusa. 

Memories haunt.

The present is the jolly father Christmas faun of nature: father nature suspended on cloud nine. 

'Memoires' of the happening in the here and now. It gets better.

The future is much brighter; albeit it starts from the ground up -camera wise too. 

Scrooge does not want to be buried in damp cold, 'greyish' soil. He survives! It's alive! 

He makes the right decision -along with Dickens- as his writing creator.

The writing is on the wall.

The death eater 'future ghost' disappears into the melting background of the happy ending.

One more thing as Colombo would say: very apt use of camera work -from the ground up- for both past and present ghost depictions -mainly-, and in 'filmic' process.

Agree in my opinion about the 'future death like ghost' being filmed from the side and back; as that particular dark side ends. 

The future bleaks out and fades into a colourful and happy ending.
