THUMP! "Spirit! Let me out! Let me out! I'll..." Just when Scrooge thought he had fallen to his doom, he came out of his blanket and breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that he was back in his bedroom again. Not only that, but it was finally 圣诞节 morning, too! Scrooge remarked after opening the window, "Thank goodness that was only a bad dream... Wait! This also means..." A wide smile then ran across his face (followed 由 a joyful jump) as he exclaimed, "YES!!! The spirits have 给 me another chance! I better go and spread as much holiday cheer as possible!" And in a flash, he freshened himself up, returned to his signature outfit, and went outside. Scrooge accepted Fred's 晚餐 invitation, donated a sizeable amount of money to the fundraising gentlemen, and even greeted a group of 街, 街道 kids! Back at the Cratchit house, the family was almost ready for their visit to the park when a knock on the door was heard. "Coming!", responded Bob. As he answered it, Scrooge said, "Surprise, surprise! Bet 你 weren't expecting me to come to your place, eh?" Bob chuckled and replied, "Why no, sir! What are 你 doing here? I thought 你 didn't want anything to do with today?" Scrooge replied, "That was the old me. The reason for my visiting is because I want to talk with 你 and your wife as well as apologise for all those rotten things I've done, both in the past and now." Bob said, "I see. All right, then. Please come inside!" He did so and introduced himself to Emily and Tori. The conversation went very well, and Bob told Scrooge, "We forgive you, sir. I'm glad 你 decided to change for the better." He replied, "Thanks, Bob. Speaking of, I've got some special gifts for all of you!" He then reached into his sack and took out a big, meaty turkey for their 晚餐 as well as plenty of toys for Tori. The child gave him a hug and said, "Thank 你 so much, Mr. Scrooge! Now I'll have something to keep myself busy while Papa is working with you." Scrooge replied, "Anytime, little one. Anytime!" He then told his employee, "And Bob, as gratitude for your unconditional kindness, I'll increase your salary and make 你 my new business partner! I will also be paying for your daughter's medicine on your behalf so that she'll grow up and have a long, happy life." Deeply touched 由 these words, Bob replied, "Bless my soul! Thank you, sir! I truly appreciate it." Emily added as she cried tears of joy, "And our dear Tori is going to be all better soon!" Tori exclaimed, "Hurrah!" Scrooge just beamed. Bob then asked him, "Well, with everything 说 and done, would 你 like to go to the park with us?" Scrooge replied, "I'd be honoured to! Take it away!" Soon, with Tori riding on his shoulders, he and the Cratchits were enjoying each other's company while walking on the snow-covered sidewalk. "Merry Christmas, my friends!", exclaimed Scrooge. "Merry Christmas, Ebenezer Scrooge!", responded the couple. "And God Bless us, every one!", declared Tori.

The spirit of 万圣节前夕 is being felt all over London, and George and Laura were on their way to Abbey Road Studios for a special party with the other Beatles. As for their costumes, the former was King Arthur while the latter was an adorable unicorn. Laura said, "I guess we won't have to get rid of any troublemaking ghosts this time, daddy George!" He replied, "Oh, absolutely not! The party will simply be good ol' fun, complete with lots of 糖果 and music." Laura remarked, "Awesome! Can't wait for it!" George said, "Me too! But remember not to eat too much of the sweet treats, love. Otherwise, you'll ruin your pearly whites, and 你 wouldn't want that to happen." Laura replied, "No, of course I won't. Thanks for the kind reminder!" George smiled and replied, "It was me great pleasure, darling!" Before long, they made it to the studios. George parked his car just across the street, and they proceeded to go inside while his daughter rode on his shoulders.
