Authors' notes. I was finishing up some other stories when I found this one. Sorry so late or maybe early for this year. But here it is. Yes, I knew that you have read other stories about scrooges Christmas story, which CC was the one that was bitter and had all the money. Well, here is another one. What she doesn't know is what she does will change the lives of not only the fabulous four (Max, Fran, Niles and herself) but who ever else (the ghost) that show her around. So without delay here is my version.
Scrooges Christmas carol.

A Christmas to remember
November 20, 2005
Christmas came to quickly this year, a time, which CC didn't like at all. She wished that she could hit a fast forward button and skip it.
"Get out of my way you stupid little brats!" she yelled, as she had to walk to the theater cause none of the taxies where able to run in the snow. I hate Christmas time. People are just so cheerful and everything so goody good. It makes me sick and those stupid bells. If I hear one more, CC clenched her fist till her knuckles almost turned ghost white. CC shook her head. On the next block she did. She heard another bell ringing.
"Any spare change ma'am." A young woman with red hair in her mid twenties asked.
"No! And I wouldn't give it to you! You beggar." CC kicked over the swinging
can and all the coins that the lady had fell to the ground. "Thanks anyway." She bent down picking them up. Oh the nerve of these people begging for money when I have to work hard for mine. The theater was closed. "Great!" CC mumbled as she called the mansion to find out what she was supposed to do. Max wanted to work from the house because of the cold snowy weather.
"Why are you so bitter this time of year CC?" Max question as they sat in the office. "You need to get over it. This year is going to be the best one yet. And if you can't get it together then you don't need to be here."
"Maxwell," she whined.
"No CC, if this attitude doesn't change soon then…."
"Knock, knock." Nanny Fine called from the door.
"What is it Ms. Fine?"
"Yeah we're busy," Yelled CC from the love seat.
"I'm busy. Now CC, remember what I said."
She huffs, walks out of the office and into the hallway. "Why do I even stay?"
"Cause no one else wants you. That's why." the butler said on his way to the office.
"Can it…." she didn't finish.
"CC…. One more negative comment, even to Niles. Then you can forget the deal."
"But Maxwell, he…"
"Oh, somebody's in trouble."
"Niles," Max shouted.
"Sir,"
"You behave as well."
"Now, look who going to get it." she whispered at Niles as she left the house.
CC had a lot to think about. How on earth was she going to behave this time a year and with that butler of Max's? They had been doing this so called 'fighting' for years on end. It was going to be hard to do but something she had to.
CC decided since she wasn't doing anything she might as well try to be nice. It did her no good. All she did was yell at people, get thrown out of a bookstore, and even punch a Santa at the mall. How's that for being nice? She sighed as she entered her apartment. I can't do this. Maybe if I go to sleep all of this will just go away. Yeah that's it, a nice relaxing evening in the hot tub. She slowly made her way to her bathroom suite.
"Now, for some downtime, nothing could go wrong there." Just as she said that the lights went out. "Damn." She yelled out. "Where are those flashlights." She groped her way to the kitchen. She found some candles and lit them. "I guess this will have to do. For now anyway." By candlelight CC made her way to the hot tub, drew the water and climbed in. "Now this is more like." She let the warm water surround her. With a washcloth over her face she began to relax.
