Firstly I'd like to say that this story takes place in the reality where Biff ordered George around, in other words, it happened before Marty went back in time.

A BTTF Christmas Carol

DING DONG!

Who could that be? Marty McFly thought. He got up from the worn couch and opened the door. There, standing right before him was Biff Tannen, his father's supervisor.

"Oh, Biff, it's you." Marty said.

"Yeah it's me Butthead." Biff said. "Where's your old man?"

Marty sighed. "He's decorating the den for Christmas." He said.

"Pffff! Christmas! What a joke!" Biff said. Then he headed for the den. Marty decided to follow him.

Biff opened the door. "McFly!" He said.

Marty's father, George McFly looked up. "Oh hi Biff." He said weakly. "How are you today?"

"Have you finished my reports yet McFly?" Biff said.

"Now Biff it's Christmas Eve. I don't have time." George said.

"Great. Then you can gift wrap them. I want my reports McFly. You can hand them to me tomorrow." Biff said.

"It's Christmas Day tommorow!" Marty said.

"So what?" Biff said.

"I have to celebrate Christmas with the whole family." George said. "It's tradition, Biff."

"Aw, Christmas is just like every day except it's colder. Fine McFly, you don't have to hand them into me tommorow. In fact, you can hand them to me on the 27th of December ok then?" Biff said.

"Fine Biff." George said.

"Well, I'm going now. Say hi to Lorraine for me." Biff said. And with that, he walked out of the house.

"You really should stick up to him, Dad." Marty said.

"Marty, Biff is my supervisor, and I'm just not good with confrontations." George said.

Biff watched the rest of his favorite movie on his television set. He was going to be all alone for Christmas. His wife split up with him 7 years ago and took his son, Jeff Tannen with her.

But Biff didn't mind. Christmas wasn't important to him.

Biff decided to turn in for the night. He put his pyjamas on and climbed into his bed, falling asleep.

"BIFF!!!!!"

The sound of his name woke Biff up. Biff straightened up, only to see Doctor Emmett Brown, the town eccentric, according to Hill Valley, staring at him.

"What the hell?!" Biff said. "Brown?! I can see right through you!"

"I am the ghost of Doctor Emmett Brown!" Brown said.

"But he isn't dead!" Biff said.

"Never you worry! You don't know what the spirit of Christmas means!" Emmett said.

"Christmas is not important for me." Biff said.

"You have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas Tannen! So you will be taken to the past, present and future to see how you have forgotten it and what will happen to you because of it! Three spirits will show you these things." Brown said.

"Wait a minute!" Biff said. "Alright! Christmas is great! Christmas is fun! There are you happy?"

"Not until you see what has become of you!" Brown said. And then, there was a brilliant flash of light, and the ghost of Emmett Brown disappeared.
