Brian Lim is counting down the months to be loved, but it’s time to be–you guessed it–“Alone on Christmas”. Tear jerking R+B (at quarter speed).

One theory how Scrooge was humbugged comes from the flashback “A Child Alone“. A Christmas Carol 2015 Cast builds this showtune from sad singularity to soaring sorrow. Still, no excuse to declare widows and orphans should die.
“The Loneliest Christmas House” would be a MISS on my bucket list, but Gray Home Music diddles the banjo folksily to assuage the anguish.
Jim Backus backs this theory up with “All Alone in the World” from the Mr. Magoo Christmas Carol. Young Scrooge is here sung by Marie Matthews with musical-filler strength.
