What are the three ghosts of Christmas like in the other world canon. I believe jacob Marley worked tooth and nail to get them to help Scrooge and Is the ghost of Christmas yet to come an aspect of death
I call them the "Three Santas" in my Otherworld canon.
The Ghost of Christmas Past is the spirit of Saint Lucy, chosen due to her association with light and sight, as well as her holiday being in mid-December.
The Ghost of Christmas Present was always going to be obvious. Dickens based him on Father Christmas, an English folk figure that evolved from pagan traditions who later merged with Saint Nicholas.
And finally, keeping with the theme of choosing saints, it only made sense I find one that personified death in some fashion in order to represent the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The mexican folk saint Santa Meurte seemed like a perfect, albeit somewhat out of place, fit.
The local big-box store has decided not to let Hallowe'en get in the way of Christmas and set up the twelve-foot animatronic skeleton right next to the twelve-foot inflatable Santa. The inflatable Santa's wobbling keeps setting off the animatronic skeleton's motion activated flail-and-scream routine, which in turn sets off the inflatable Santa's motion sensor and makes it play "Jingle Bells".
I was watching some kindergartners play in the snow. Then a guy with a lumpy trash bag slung over his back walked up to the children to dump out the trash bag like a deranged Santa Claus. Apparently it was filled with toys, and as the children screamed in joy, the man grinned at me with red eyes before leaving me with unanswered questions.
