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 [[The Three Spirits|Three Spirits]]…''”. He soon realised the Realm was “messing with his head” and started sounding like himself again.

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|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, although they found it challenging to account for some of the particulars given that there were no Christmases past to draw from, and that the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] scarcely ever used money.

Finding himself calling Christmas a “humbug” and then exclaiming “Bah! Humbug!”, shortly before his ghostly encounters, Philatel remarked that he'd “heard that expression somewhere”, recalling after a moment's thought it came from “that book by Dickens”, which he had indeed read, though he had deemed it to be “dreadful stuff”. He did not seem to pick up on the other similarities between the night's events on the book; at any rate, if he noticed them, he didn't remark on them.
