No, no - NOT the Scrooge who is visited by Marley's ghost. I feel like the Scrooge who wakes up after his 3rd & final visitor to discover he is NOT dead, that Tiny Tim lives, the his life is filled with hope & intention to set things better.
Like Ebenezer, this morning finds me as light as a feather, as happy as an angel, as merry as a school-boy, as giddy as a drunken man. Like him, I promise to live in the Past, the Present, and the Future, with the spirits & best wishes of our Earth Angels forever striving within me. I say, "Heaven, and the spirits & best wishes of our circle of angels, here & Elsewhere, be praised for this! I say it on my knees, on my knees!''
I am Frank Cross, Bill Murray's character in the vastly underrated Scrooged, who closes the film with an oh so truthful monologue...
Christmas
Eve... the one night when we all act a little nicer. We...we smile a little
easier. We...we...share a little more.
For
a couple of hours we are the people we always hoped we would be. It's really a miracle because it happens
every Christmas Eve…
You have to do
something. You have to take a chance and get involved. l get it now.
If you give, then it can happen, the miracle can happen to you.
Everybody's
gotta have this miracle! It can happen
tonight for you all! If you believe in
this pure thing, the miracle will happen and you'll want it again tomorrow! You'll want it every day! It can happen to
you!
I believe in it now. I believe it's gonna happen to me, now. I'm ready for
it!
