Everyone knew to walk on eggshells around Lord Draben as Christmas neared. Almost everyone, ghost and alive human alike, did their best to stay away from the solemn ghost.
It wasn't that Lord Draben was a scrooge. Quite the contrary. When he was alive, Lord Draben loved Christmas. He would pray during the day and feast at night. He organized Christmas parties and followed traditions. He spent the time with his family and friends, and he did everything he could to help the needy.
When he became a ghost, he couldn't really have his own Christmas anymore. He couldn't enjoy Christmas food. All of his friends and his family were dead. And although he could pray, who would listen to a ghost?
Christmas lost all meaning to him when he couldn't follow his traditions. So every year, he got grouchy and morose. He remembered how it used to be and wished with all of his unbeating heart, that he could go back to the good old days.
