What would you do if you were suddenly the main character in the overused by tv holiday specials "A Chistmas Carol?"

...Wait, what? I'm serious. What if one night your life suddenly took a turn for the Dickens? ...Still nothing? Here's the breakdown. You go to bed as usual, and a spirit suddenly comes and says you will visited by three ghosts unless you change your ways (I'm not talking the original greed, I'm just saying the worst thing about yourself). And of course, like all tv specials that use it the ghosts of past, present, and future all are look like people you know, to the point you ask "hey...wait a minute! Blankey Blank! What are you doing in that getup?" and they respond "Yooou muuust beee missstakeen...I aaaam the ghoooost of Arrrbor Daaay's Past cousin twice removed brother, by law. Eh, we see each other when we golf, but we only wave hi to each other, that's about it. Wait, where was I? Oh yeah. I aaam heeereee to shoooowww..."

Darn it, now -I- have lost my place. CURSE YOU GHOST THAT LOOKS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE BLANKETY BLANK!!! Anyway, I figured if it happens so often on tv, it must...like...happen all the time in real life. Underlines, yeah I went there. What would you do if that situation was brought upon yourself?

A more interesting topic would be what would of happen if we had one of those "It's a wonderful life" experiences where you find out what would happen if you ceased to exist.

I am disappointed in you jitty.

Well... I think I would take a baseball bat and crack the ghost upside the head, then I'd steal it's wallet. In doing so, I would have changed my ways due to the fact that the baseball bat didn't pass harmlessly through it's head. However, in controdiction to the ham sandwich, I would imply that there never was a good Monday, and in doing so, I would create a time paradox. Then Ansom the Purple would crawl out of my TV with a bucket of chicken and we would go and watch the smurfs. When we finally realise the horror of what we had just done, (watching the smurfs) We would implode and explode at the same time while going up down and around the Crapper.

Truth be told, I thought about that exact one from the very beginning, even to the point of adding it as an afterthought and making the topic more about abused tv christmas specials in real life in general, but then felt that stretched the idea too long thus people wouldn't reply.

I don't blame you for thinking like that stairy.

Sorry to intrude, but I think that would've been a good idea. Narrowing it down to only one Christmas Special, just because it wouldn't appeal to the masses, deludes the topic, and makes it a bit less interesting than it was originally.

The thing is that the original idea that came into my head started with Scrooge, but later I was going to expand anyway in later posts if the demand was high.

Do whatever you want, no one's stopping you. *hint hint nudge nudge*

Ok, let's talk about all the retarded spin-offs of Rudalf the Red Nosed Riendeer. Forgive me for lack of correct spelling. What is up with all of them! I mean... A few of them have been just... wrong!!!

*sings*

And it was Leroy, the red neck reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Deliverin' toys to all the good ol' boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal
Two steppin' across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell
And made history that night

*shot mulitple times and dumped in a river*

*revives*

I do love that song.

I know what you are talking about with the sequels, but why did you make me find this creepy site as well? The music doesn't help matters. =(

Why would anyone buy that junk...? It sounds kinda dumb to me... But that's just me... I wouldn't buy that stuff, unless you payed me double the cost to... and gave me free car insurance.

It wouldn't work. They convince Scrooge to do what, be generous? I'm much too uber to have anything to be preached to about, though I would take the history lesson and useful predictions.

To somehow steer this back on topic after being derailed several times :3

I've been a kind of unsocial person as of late, running around being busy and whatnot, and any time I can get to myself, I keep very very close. So one night around Christmas, I'd be awakened by a spirit resembling that of a close friend of mine whom I've unintentionally abandoned. And she'd be all "GHOSTS WILL VISIT YOU."

And I'll be all "...then what are you?!"

So a ghost would show me the past where everyone was happy and playing on Christmas morning. They'd show me the present and I'd still be excluding myself and family and friends'd be all "Oh it's okay, she'll return some other Christmas" and that Christmas never comes. The future would be my grave on a lonely hill beneath a leafless willow tree.

And I'd be all OMGNO **wakes up Christmas morning and invades family parties** 😀

Anyway, that's what Tricia's Christmas Carol would be like. ^^

I'm tempted to throw together a very short story based on that, Sage.

Well... Going back to the original topic:

I would be asleep one night, and a ghost would come into the room. The ghost would attempt to wake me up, but then I would put the ghost into a sleep-strangle hold and still be asleep. Repeat the process three times and then morning comes. I wake up, and for some reason get a burst of energy to eat pie. Of course I would instead spend this energy playing Sonic Adventure 2 after Kez showed up at my place.
