Written by Stephen Campbell on January 12, 2021

A darkly magical realist re–telling that definitely isn't for kids

If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.

Charles Dickens; A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas (1843)

I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
