From Walt Disney Pictures comes the magical retelling of Charles Dickens' beloved tale - Disney's A Christmas Carol, the high-flying, heartwarming adventure for the whole family, starring Jim Carrey.

Complete with spirited bonus features, this exhilarating and touching Disney classic is destined to be part of your holiday tradition, adding sparkle and heart to all your Christmases yet to come.
Disney's A Christmas Carol (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) Specifications
Fans of Robert Zemeckis's brilliant special effects, and of Jim Carrey's transformative acting abilities, will be swept away by their collaboration in the stunning A Christmas Carol. Perhaps more surprising is that Charles Dickens purists will also be impressed and captivated by this version of the oft-told tale--which is dark, complex, and in its way, uncompromising. Which is all to say that this Christmas Carol is an instant holiday classic, easily taking its place alongside the Alistair Sim version, the Patrick Stewart version, and even the Mr. Magoo version of the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and his ultimate holiday redemption. Carrey is dazzling as not only Scrooge, the most miserable, and miserly, man in 19th-century England, but as the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future. As with The Polar Express, Zemeckis animates the film over the actors' physical performances onscreen, but here, the emotion is intact--even heightened by the spiffy effects. Joining Carrey in the cast are terrific players, including Gary Oldman (Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and the ghost of Marley), Cary Elwes, Bob Hoskins, and Robin Wright Penn. But the heart of the film is Carrey, whose dramatic acting has shone in films like The Truman Show and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. The emotional connection Carrey makes with his characters is what brings Dickens's classic alive--and what connects the viewer with the true spirit of the holidays. "God bless us, every one." --A.T.

My husband and I love to go out to breakfast. We even call it our weekly date. Orange County California has an plenty of distinct types to fun places to try. There are some that, quite honestly, I would have loved to have tried and included, but didn't quite get the chance. Hopefully I will be able to have other opportunity to write other report about one of my popular meals out and contain them. For now, here are some of our popular restaurants to start our day:
Plum's Cafe: Costa Mesa. placed in a strip mall, this place is so popular that even during the weekdays you need to allow for a long wait. But it' well worth it! The owner is an Oregon transplant who brings astounding produce, coffee and artwork into her establishment. The menu has some very animated items-my husband loves the coconut french toast, served with tropical fruit. I love the greek omelet. We both have problem resisting the Oregon boysenberry muffins! My mom says the lamb/feta burgers served with field greens salad is the best. For my father-the dutch baby reigns supreme.
Best Beaches In California
The Omelet Bar: Just a block up from Plum's in yet other strip mall is this rather quirky little place. The wait staff dresses like Cyndi Lauper, but are very good. Lots of very good egg dishes, but good lunch menu also abounds. Lots of old Orange County memorabilia abounds on the wooden walls. The homemade apple butter is of course terrific on the english muffins.

Las Brisas: Laguna Beach. Honestly, for us the food is very over-rated, but the view of the Pacific is what makes this place a destination spot. Plus you can walk the beach trails and shop all over the city, providing you find a parking space!
The Cottage: Laguna Beach. other local first-rate spot. of course a cottage. Sometimes, this place has a dicey reputation, but all the same, it somehow remains a must try spot for vacationers.
Cafe Zinc: Laguna Beach. For the most part-vegetarian, but food is hearty sufficient that even a meat-lover like my husband doesn't mind beginning out the day here. Also has a cute little shop attached to it, so you can try out a few of their goodies at home.
All the Ruby's diners: It's a chain, but popular with families. What can I say? Even my baby grandson loves the noise and the trains, planes, bikes (depending on the unit) and cars that glide on tracks along the ceiling.
Alice's in the Park: Central Park in Huntington Beach. If you love tiny little family run places and huge out-of-this-world cinnamon rolls-you have to go to Alice's. Believe me, you will need to walk the park any times to walk off the calories, but the place is terrific and worth every bite.
Cafe Neff: Laguna Niguel make Center. Only open during this To The Trade areas hours of operation, but it's staff and food is a favorite, not only with the designers and their clients, but with anyone who wants to do a more relaxed version of "the ladies who lunch", plus I've never had anyone but of course yummy food. They have daily specials and scones of the morning. Maple bacon aroma is too die for! Coffee is quite good.
Ted's Burgers: Just across the street from Cafe Neff in a strip mall, Ted's is a local hangout. everybody from families, to biker's, senior citizens and law compulsion loves Ted's breakfasts. Nothing to look at, but it's all ease food based. Portions are so large that even my husband doesn't mind sharing a meal with me!
Pacific Whey Baking Company: four locations. Trendy, but exquisite breakfasts and bakery choices. We love to share and Abc omelet and a chocolate pinwheel. While they do have an animated lunch and supper menu-trust me, stick to breakfast and desserts.
Corner Bakery: again, it's a chain, but good food and choices. The outdoor seating at most locations make it exquisite for one of our typical sunny California mornings. Ours is close sufficient and allows pooches on the patio, so we take our labrador mix for a walk there and back!
Hopefully, if you live close by you'll seek out some of these breakfast treasures. And if you visit in the future, you look them up and give them a try
