Charles Dickens: Hello boys and girls. My name is Charles Dickens and my friend here is Albert Einstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: Good day to you all! But Chuck, why are we\nhere?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Great question Al! We are here to have some\nfun and to share a wonderful spectacle that was published on December 19th<\/sup>,\n1843 about Love, Morale, and Generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: Love, Morale and Generosity?  Chuck that sounds nice, but it doesn\u2019t sound\nfun. I thought you said this was going to be fun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Of course, it is going to be fun Al! Why\nwouldn\u2019t it be fun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: I don\u2019t know, you seem to always say one\nthing then mean another.  Its like \u201cA\nTale of Two Chucks\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Har har, don\u2019t you have some \u201cmushroom soup\u201d\nto make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: Clouds\u2026 Mushroom Clouds and that was a long\ntime ago, and that how about you David Copperfield and disappear now\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Look, Al\u2026 I know you have \u201cGreat\nExpectation\u201d but trust me the kids are going to love this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: Well if it\u2019s for the kids I suppose\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Trust me Al\u2026 its \u201crelative\u201d to the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: OK, I trust you.  How can I help with this story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Well, you can start by knowing that, Marley\nwas dead to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: How is that helpful to the story?  And who is this Marley?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: He is dead, dead as a door nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: Man, I thought you said this was going to\nbe about Love, Morale and Generosity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: It is, but we need to know that Old Marley\nis dead.  He is no more\u2026 trust me.  The executor of his state was his former\nbusiness partner, one Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge continued to run the old business,\neven with Old Marley\u2019s name on the sign. \nThere it was Scrooge and Marley. \nBut Scrooge was quite tight fisted! \nA squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old\nsinner!  Hard and sharp as flint, from\nwhich no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret and self-contained,\nand solitary as an oyster.  The cold\nwithin him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his\ncheek, stiffened his gait, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue\u2026 He kept the\noffice cold and didn\u2019t thaw it this time of year, even if it was\nChristmas.  Besides, heat cost money and no\nwarmth could warm\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: Wait, this is pretty grim.  I am not sure I want to meet this Mr.\nScrooge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Well, there he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: Where?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Right there!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
