Dear Ebenezer Scrooge,
I think that you should change your ways. You are missing out in life by being cranky, and negative with the people around you. The way that you treat other people effects their lives, and yours. I really think it would be best for you if you stopped being so morose.
You are really missing out on time spent with your family. You loved your sister Fan, didn't you? Look how you're treating Fan's only child, your nephew. When he offered for you to have Christmas dinner with him and his wife, you told him that Christmas was a humbug, and that he should never have gotten married. When your nephew asked you to spend time with him, your only family, and have a wonderful, joyous Christmas, you decided you would not go, but instead work, and not celebrate Christmas at all. You're missing out on one of the best things in life, family.
In addition to that, you are missing out on Christmas, and all of the excitement that comes with it. Christmas is a time for happiness, it is a cause for celebration, and all you can say about Christmas is "Bah. Humbug." When you were invited to your nephew's house for dinner you refused, and decided you would work instead. When your clerk, Bob Cratchit, asked for Christmas day off, you said that he was robbing you of your money, and told him that he had to come into work extra early the next morning. You are missing out on a truely amazing holiday, Christmas, and you are forceing other people like Bob Cratchit to miss out on Christmas too.
As you can see, your crankiness, negativity, and your overall attitude towards life really effect the way you, and the people around you live. Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you weren't so cantankerous? I'm sure it would be great, unlike now. You are missing out on so much, not just Christmas and family time, but so much more too. I beg you to change the way you act towards the people around you. You are constantly being a miser, and by changing that you, and all of the wonderful people around you, will be very joyful, and have a much better life.
Sincerely,
Meghan C
