So, I have a question about A Christmas Carol.
The Ghost of Jacob Marley tells Scrooge that he (Scrooge) will be visited by three seperate ghosts (Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come) over the course of the next few nights. Which is... odd. First of all, Jacob tells Scrooge this on Christmas Eve, so the hauntings occuring on nights after Christmas seems an odd way to turn Scrooge's Christmas spirits, secondly they all come on the same night!
So what gives? Did Jacob Marley just not get the latest memo?

Jacob -
We've decided we're going to haunt Scrooge all in one night. It seems his nephew and head subordinate are having their holiday meals the night after your visit and we'd really like to turn him around for those events, besides it'd be nice to change his mind around Christmas time rather than after it. So please update your haunting speech to reflect these change in plans. Thanks. If Scrooge's turn around pans out, we'll look into removing some of your afterlifey burdens.
Thanks, The Ghosts.
