a christmas carol ghost of christmas yet to come

It was the night before Christmas and all through the house, the children were sleeping peacefully, dreaming of gifts and treats. But as they slept, a strange figure appeared in the shadows, watching them with a piercing gaze. The figure was dressed in black, its face obscured by a hood. It was the ghost of Christmas yet to come, come to show the children the future that awaited them if they did not change their ways.
