A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol was a Christmas novel (PROSE: The Case Against Conspiracy) involving Ebenezer Scrooge as well as the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Future, which took place in Victorian London. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker) The first word of the novel, which was the work of Charles Dickens, was “Marley”. (PROSE: The Case Against Conspiracy)
When he was briefly trapped in the Prime Universe's Spirit Realm, and had to “haunt” his friend Juliet-178 to tell her how to physically bring him back, Pythagoras-858 briefly got off-track and started referring to Juliet as Ebenezer, stating in a uncharacteristically formal tone: “I am here to-night to warn you, that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate. A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer. You will be haunted by Three Spirits…”. He soon realised the Realm was “messing with his head” and started sounding like himself again. (PROSE: The Ghosts and the Machine)
Real versions of the plot of A Christmas Carol were frequently implemented by at least one set of the Three Spirits who travelled from dimension to dimension, enacting the scenario for a variety of bitter old businessmen who were often — but not always — called Ebenezer Scrooge. After the holiday was introduced to the Cupid Homeworld by Celebration-665 in 2019, the Spirits were able to intervene there for the first time, drawing Philatel-426 into a version of the scenario; the Ghost of Christmas Past initially addressed him as “Ebenezer”, to his confusion, and was mildly surprised to learn this wasn't his name, though it quickly adjusted.

Jenny Everywhere loved the story. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
In the holiday season in 2021, Conspiracy-1263 of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids became convinced that A Christmas Carol had secretly been written by monkeys due to a complex and half-delirious misunderstanding. He tried to prove this by setting a large number of apes with typewriters onto the task of rewriting it from scratch. Unsurprisingly, the experiment was a failure, with the apes only managing to get the first word (Marley) to paper, and even then, with an apparent spelling mistake.
