When choosing The Muppet Christmas
Carol as the theme for our Christmas box
this year, I was struck that Charles Dickens
had not given Mrs Cratchit a forename.
In the Film, Miss Piggy Lee had given her
the moniker, Emily, which I thought was a
lovely, and important touch.
So, to celebrate Emily Cratchit, and all the
other women that went before her, bringing
up their families, keeping house, and
generally going without recognition, I
wanted to give her a gift.
I imagine her house was cold, until she lit
the fire, so Mittens seemed fitting for her. I
hope they are a touch of luxury she
probably never had.
So, here are the Emily Cratchit Mittens, for
you to enjoy.
