The Christmas I'll Never Forget...
Sunday, December 11, 2011
I realized that I was back in my room and that I now have a chance to make amends for the years of greed and cruelty I have spent. I am so excited at this second chance,I don't know what to do first until I hear the church bells ring. I was shouting merry Christmas and wished for a happy New Year to my empty house and then I ran to the window and asked a small boy what day it is. The boy told me that it's Christmas Day, and I sent him to the poultry shop around the corner to buy the biggest turkey the shopkeeper has with the promise of a large monetary reward when he returned. I awaited the poultry man to give him Cratchit's address. When I saw the size of the turkey I insisted on hiring a cab for the poulterer to deliver the turkey to the Cratchit's home. I payed the young messenger handsomely all the while laughing as I hadn't in years. When It arrived at their home, we all gathered arround and ate. Then Tiny Tim said to us all "God bless us, Every one." then I spent the day with them and in the evening I joined my Nephew for his christmas party. This was a christmas I'll never forget...
The Last Sprit...
I was back in my bed chamber, I had forgotten the time. But I knew there was 1 Sprit yet to come...Then he appeared to me, he was dressed in a long black robe with a hood that concealed its head. Within the darkness of the hood, I could not even see a hint of the ghost's face. I tried to explain to him that I was ready to see what ever he had to show me but he did not reply. I was frightend at the ghosts' silence. Then suddenly we were at a city, I didnt reconize it. The Sprit pointed a way, gesturing me to listen to a bunch of conversations. I heard them speak of a man that died that morning and they said that noone would be at the funeral. I knew this was the Sprit of christmas' yet to come so I searched for my face but I couldn't find myself. Then the spirit took me down the road to a group of three poorer people, each with bundles of things. The bundles were filled with stuff from a dead man's room. They all sold what they had and then went on their way. Then the Sprit took me to the Cratchits house, it was cold and sad. Their waiting for Bob to come home, he seems to be walking a bit slower these past few nights, even though he could easily run with tiny tim on his shoulder. When Bob walks in he says he has found a nice green spot to burry Tim, then he bursts out in tears. After a talk about Bob meeting with Fred, the eldest son goes to work and the whole family never will forget their youngest, Tiny Tim. I asked the sprit of the identity of the dead man he heard about earlier, He lead me through the city to answer my question. First we passed my office, I was not working there, then he lead me to the cemetary. And pointed to a grave. I began to realize what was happening and I asked "Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of the things that May be only?" I asked him many questions but the only thing he did was point to a grave.I look at the headstone with fear and I read my own name. Then I swore to the Sprit I would change my ways! Then he left me....and that was the end of the sprits...

The Second Sprit...
I woke up to the sound of the same clock tower strikeing 12. Impossible. It must be about 2 in the morning! I remembered that Marley said the Second sprit would come and vist me at 1 O'clock. I kept tossing and turning, I stayed awake the whole hour awaiting the arrivial of the sprit. At the strike of one a plum jolly Spirit. He took me on a jouney to christmas' of other familys. The Cratchets for example. He showed me Bob and his wife and his 4 children. One of them caught my eye. The littlest one, he barely stood, he had a krutch under his arm and a brace on his leg. I felt something...in my chest...I asked the Sprit what the future of this boy, Tiny Tim, had instore. He told me he saw an empty seat...I couldnt bear being there any longer. Then the spirit took me to my Nephew's party. I wished I could have stayed there forever, but the spirit said we had to go. He told me his time was growing short. He looked aged, he had children with him when he appeared to me. They were happy! But now...they were also old and creepy...He told me they were Want and Ignorance. Then he left me....
The Clock struck 12....
I awoke in darkness, the only thing I heard was the clock tower...it was striking 12. That is the time Marley said the first Sprit would come to me...it happend. I saw the marvelous looking sprit and she took me on a trip to my past, showing me my past christmas'. She showed me when my sister, Fannie, came to me and brought me home from school and she showed me myself at the Fezwiggs party. But the last thing she showed me was my beautiful Belle, my one love, she had left me on the same very night, Christmas Eve...I'm starting to think Christmas Eve for me is pretty much a bad luck time for me.
Good Gracious Me!
My old co-worker, Bob Marley, appeared to me this night! He disquized himself as my door knocker and scared my bejeebers out of me! He appeared to me dressed as he always was, long button coat, hair back in a ponytail, boots and stockings, but one thing was unfirmilliar to me, he wore a chain. It was made of many links, it wrapped arround his waist and trailed long behind him. He told me that 3 ghosts would appear to me tonite. Then he dissapeared....I never saw him after that. Now, I'm scared...

Bah-Hummbug!
To whom it may concern,
Today I was delightfuly enjoying my work when my nephew, Fred, came and initerupted a good days work! He bombarded me with these boudatios questions and inquired if I would be joining him and his family for a christmas feast! Bah Humbug! I prefer to spend my christmas in solitary. Just me and my work books and Mr. Bob Chratchit. Poor fellow. But then to make my day even worse two gentelmen came to me asking for me to make an investment! I dissmissed them, and my nephew. People won't leave me alone...They don't know but on this very day, Christmas Eve, seven years past my dear co-worker, Bob Marley, passed on...I will never forget what he did for this company.
