I told my brother that I was going to see The Man Who Invented Christmas, and that it told the story of how Dickens created A Christmas Carol. He looked at me and said “Oh yeah. Wasn’t that a song?” Stuned silence on my part. “Oh. And it was a movie, too. Right?”The sad part is that we’re both in our seventies, and he was a teacher. Say farewell to shared common culture.

Could your brother have been referring to the Tom Lehrer “A Chirstmas Carol”?
