A Christmas Carol in prose. - caption: 'Marley's Ghost.  Ebenezer Scrooge visited by a ghost.'

Wishing you a literary Christmas with only high spirits of a brighter kind.

“Why do you doubt your senses?”
“Because,” said Scrooge, “a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”

A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
