[[File:Philatel-426 in A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol.png|thumb|left|250px|Philatel begins to feel bad about his callous behaviour toward [[Lord Thymon]]. ([[PROSE]]: '[[A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol (short story)|A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol]]'')]]After the obligatory [[Cupid Graveyard|graveyard sequence]], however, things took an unusual turn, even though the Spirits had been making a valiant effort at sticking to the classic script despite the newness of Christmas in the grand scheme of their charge's life. The Ghosts of Past and Present turned out to have been captured outright by the [[Ghost Lord|invaders to the Spirit Realm]] right as they left Philatel. Realising what had occurred, Yet-to-Come took Philatel into the Spirit Realm itself and set him the final task of walking a subjectively-infinite distance to reached the captured spirits, and then free them from the ghost-repelling chains in which they had been bound. After he succeeded, the Spirits explained what had occurred, then erased Philatel's memory of the deviation, returning him to his house in the morning of December 25th believing that he had come directly from the graveyard vision. | [[File:Philatel-426 in A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol.png|thumb|left|250px|Philatel begins to feel bad about his callous behaviour toward [[Lord Thymon]].

Calling upon the young Cupid caroler to go and buy a turkey for him from one of the unauthorised shops in the lower clouds, he then hopped into [[Philatel-426's Fog Ship|his ship]] to deliver it (and a bevy of stamps) to Thymon and his family, alongside the announcement that he'd decided to promote Thymon to Co-Prefect of the Department. Back in the Homeworld, he walked up and down the Mainland Cloud, delivering well wishes to everyone he met — including the Donations Cupids, to whom he gifted a fantastical amount of stamps before turning up at Dandy's party, where he was happily welcomed by all, with the possible exception of [[Pessimist-242]].
