It’s December, which means it’s time for a straight month of observing tradition, spending time with family, and maybe suffering from seasonal affective disorder. More importantly, it’s time to drop a bunch of money buying presents for anyone who might be offended if you don’t buy him or her a gift.

Fortunately, there are ways to keep a few extra semolians in your pocket. A great example is Biltmore Fashion Park’s Movies in the Park series, which shows classic flicks for free under the stars every Friday night. On Friday, the Biltmore will screen its last flick of the season and it’s a doozy: the Bill Murray classic Scrooged.
