One of my favorite Christmas stories is "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. This story is a Liason story with Jason finding out the true meaning of Christmas. It is about love, family and second chances. Jason has never been married and has no children. He still works for Sonny as his enforcer. I don't own the characters or the story A Christmas Carol. This is how I see Jason and I hope for him in the future.

Jason was working late in the warehouse. He had just finished getting the books ready for the end of the year. He was the king of Port Charles. There was nothing that happened in this city without him knowing it. He was a lost soul but was too busy to even realize that his life was passing him by.

The year before, his partner and co-owner of the coffee business died while trying to keep his territory from being taken over. Jason did get things back under control but it was too late for his partner. Sonny had the love of a family. Jason wasn't because his job was to fix things and make sure everyone is happy. The problem with that was he had no one to love him or for him to love.

He locked up after himself and said good night to his best friends Johnny O'Brien and Francis Corelli. They were his partners and the closest thing he had to a real family. It was Christmas Eve and the town was shut down for the night except a few bars and a convenience store.

Jason got into his pick-up truck and headed home. He parked his truck and the first few snowflakes started coming down. He went to unlock his door and he thought that he had seen his partner, Sonny. He realized that the day was getting to him especially since it was a year ago, that night that Sonny was murdered.

He walked into his apartment that was more like a fortress and went to take a shower. He wished that he had someone that was waiting for him but he just didn't have the energy to call his friend, Sam. She was good for sex but nothing more. He missed the days when he was younger and was in love with the one person who could steal his breath away. Her name was Elizabeth and she still lived in town. She worked at an art gallery not far from his coffee warehouse. He saw her all the time but he stayed away from her because of his job. She was too important for him to get close too again because of the fear of her being hurt.

He had put on his sweats and an old sweatshirt from college. He went into his living room to watch one of the games that was playing that night. He didn't really care who was on but he just wanted some noise. Anything to take the loneliness away.

Jason was watching an old movie about Christmas. He went to change the channel and then he saw Sonny on the television. Jason went to change the channel but he was on every channel.

"Jason, you need to slow down. I am here to make you see that you are living your life wrong. You deserve to be happy and not all alone on Christmas. I know that you don't believe that I am here but I am. This is not a dream and remember you can't dream even if you wanted too. You will be visited by three ghosts. The Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Future. You need to know that these ghosts are here to let you see where your life has been, where it is now and where it will be in the future. Just remember that this is to help you make things right in your life. It is not to hurt you or make things worse. I trust that you believe in what I am telling you. You should go to bed because the visits will start soon and you will want your wits about you when it happens. Just remember that this is a warning. You don't want to end up like me in chains."

Jason was finally able to change the channel but then he realized that he was tired and he should go to bed. Sonny told him that the first ghost would be there at midnight. It was 10:45, so he didn't have much time.

He went to bed and tried to think happy thoughts but he knew it didn't matter because he didn't dream. It was a few minutes to midnight when Jason woke up. He was fine but he felt that someone was staring at him. He turned over and then someone poked him in his back.

"Okay, Jason! It is time we get this show on the road. I know you think that I am your father, Alan but I am not. I am the ghost of Christmas past. We have a lot to see and not a long time to do it. Let's go!
