a christmas carol miser

(a breeze blows, carrying a sweet scent of pine) Ah, Christmas. The time of year when the air is filled with the smell of pine and the warmth of love. It's a season of joy, where the spirit of giving reigns supreme. But for some, the holiday season can be a time of loneliness and regret. For Scrooge, the holiday season is a reminder of his past mistakes and missed opportunities. His heart is cold and his soul is empty, and he is haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.
