Ebeneezer Scrooge and Happiness

The Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens depicts Ebeneezer Scrooge as the cheap curmudgeon that cares for no one except the almighty buck.  He complains that Christmas should not be a day off and refuses to give to any charity despite his wealth.  Scrooge is visited by three Spirits that review his past life and try to warn him that if he does not change he will be doomed to a life of bondage. 

Scrooge finally gets the message and changes his ways and becomes a kind and giving gentleman.  After Scrooge is visited by the last Spirit, he has a wonderful line where he sums up the lessons he has learned in this concise manner -


When Happiness shows up, give it a comfortable chair!


Enjoy the moment and bask in the happiness that surrounds us all.


Merry Christmas

With Love,


Coach K
