Charles Dickens: No sooner than the clock stroke two, did\nScrooge find himself in the company of another Spirit, this one more jovial\nthan the last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: And quite large!  He fills the room! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Indeed, when I thought of him in the\nwriting, I tried to think of the most harmless thing.  Something I loved from my childhood that\nwould never be scary or intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: The traveler has come! Come in and know me better\nman!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump: Who are you?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: Why, I am the Ghost of Christmas Present! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: The Spirit shrunk to Scrooges size, or at\nleast closer to his stature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: My mind is filled of marshmallowy thoughts of the\nhere and now, and the now is Christmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump: I don\u2019t think I have ever met anyone like you\nSpirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: Well, sir, let me introduce you to Christmas\nMorning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: The Spirit took Scrooge to a bright and\ncheery morning full of people who were laughing, singing, dancing, and\ncelebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Einstein: We never danced on Christmas day!  I didn\u2019t know that was a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: But of course!  In London we did it all the time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: Can you feel the joy in the air?  Its Christmas Morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump: You said that Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: I did, well, it bears repeating. Like hear, take\nthis young lad. He is down on his luck but he is pleased that today is\nChristmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump: I know this man, this is Mr. Applegate.  I am fixing to evict him today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: And yet he cares not, even being down and out\ncannot stop his Joy for Christmas day! And here, this young lad.  Poor and hungry, asking for a scrap of food\nhere or there, is ecstatic to get a left-over hamburger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump: Did you see that, he stole another hamberder\nfrom that rich man over there. And now he\u2019s giving it to another beggar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: Are you sure he stole it? How do you know that\nthat rich man didn\u2019t want to share the Christmas spirit\u2026 he is redistributing\njoy to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Scrooge beheld all the hustle and bustle on\nthe street.  He really was amazed at the\nexcitement and the cheerfulness of the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump: Spirit, I had no idea that this much happiness\nwas happening on one day, despite the hard times.  Spirit, I wish to see more.  Show me family and kin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Puft: Touch my hat, and we shall see what you wish to\nsee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Dickens: Scrooge touched his hat and immediately he\nfound himself in a modest but warm and cozy house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
