Honestly feel it'd take longer to watch the movie.

I've read it every year for years now (self imposed tradition) and it take me about 4 days with an hour or so a day. Not a long book by any stretch.

I'm also of the opinion that The Muppet Christmas Carol is both the best and most accurate adaptation.

I love the Muppet Christmas Carol, also the one with Sir Patrick Stewart.

The Amazon version is 64 pages for example.

I found Patrick Stewart's audio reading of A Christmas Carol to be rather delightful.
