As a practicing couch potato I need my regular fix of films, and I like action films and thrillers, not sentimental Christmas slop.

And we briefly interrupt our programming for a brief public service announcement:

Top 12 scams to avoid this season:

1. Email Shipping Confirmations: Think twice before clicking links in shipping notification emails, and always verify the shipping company before giving out your personal information.

1. Deceptive Advertising:Beware of deals that are too good to be true as they could steal your personal information and ruin your holiday cheer.

1. Chilling Charities:'Tis the season to donate, but be wary of fake charities. Do your research and double-check the site URL.

1. Buyer Beware: Check your credit card statements to make sure you don't have unwanted charges as a result of a point-of-sale breach.

1. iScams:Today, smartphones act as a phone, but also a credit card, house key, camera and more. Malware can access your device via apps, so do your research and stick to official app stores to download.

1. Getting Carded: Avoid the unwanted gift of malware and always verify that e-cards are from someone you know and a trustworthy site.

1. Holiday Travel Scams: Avoid fake online deal links offering low price airfare or hotel rooms that could be a trap. Think before you click.

1. Year in Review Traps:While a "Year in Review" sounds entertaining to read, clicking on these links could infect your devices.

1. BYO...Device:With the hustle and bustle of the season, smartphones & wallets could easily belost or stolenin the shuffle. Don't leave your smartphone unattended during the hectic holiday season as it could give hackers access to your personal and work information.

1. Bad USB Blues:Be wary of free USB drives that are often used as giveaways. This method is an easy way for hackers to spread malware.

Top 12 Scams of the Holiday Season

Don't know why the USMB software changed all the numbers to No. 1????? And then when I tried to fix it it put in a space I can't get rid of. Sigh. Oh well. At least the information is there.

Actually my favorite version of Scrooge is the one with Albert Finney.

The scrooge with George C Scott was on the other day.

I think of all the versions, I like the rendition with George C. Scott the best but I like almost all of the various versions over the years. The GC Scott one was on like 3 a.m. this morning and I set the DVR to record it.

Never been a big Murray fan, don't think he's all that funny. I do like many of the movies he's in but more so because of the other actors and the story line.

Our tradition includes A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim and I really like the Jim Carey animated version.

I like the version from 1938 with Reginald Owen and Mrs. Robinson from Lost In Space.

There are so many ugly sweaters, I had a hard time choosing one, but this one is just kind of scary, IMO!
