Jacob Marley Tapestries

What WAS Scrooge's business, anyhow? Something financial, right?

The first haunting line in “A Christmas Carol.” By Charles Dickens

BECAUSE I AM JACOB

A Christmas Carol

I think everyone could use a little extra positive energy during the holidays, which is why I re-created one of my favorite moments from the 1970 Scrooge musical. "I like life/ life likes me/ life and I fairly fully agree" is really a great daily affirmation.

"Hear me!" cried the Ghost. "My time is nearly gone."

“You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”
