If you had to encounter a ghost from “A Christmas Carol,” which one would it be?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on December 14, 2012
“ Christmas Future because maybe it could give you guidance or grief. It’s seeing what’s behind the door.”
“ I think the (Ghost of Christmas) Past. The past is safest. Whatever horrible things that happen have happened already in the past.”
“ Future. To prove that every thing works out.”
“ Christmas Present, because I have a 2-year-old and I’m excited to see what she does. ”

Hmm...I have not seen a caroler at my door step for years. Used to be fun. I have had a few Carols though -nice and warm.... Either Lurch or Herman Munster.??..They were both around during Christmas.
Or, that boy Tiny Tim, but I think he was not a ghost but he could play a mean ukulele.

The future can be changed so I'd like to see what I have to do.

I'm too old for Christmas Future. Isn't anything for me there but the old, cold clay. Give me Christmas Past so I can relive the wonder and the fun, the warmth, love and happiness.

“Christmas Present, because I have a 2-year-old and I’m excited to see what she does.”
Having a two year old on Christmas morning is a "Christmas Present" all in itself :)

Let's just do a Jacob Marley, then go back to sleep and just skip the ghosts altogether.

Ghosts don't exist.

Not for radical nihilists. We are allowed to define our existence as we please. :-)
But in the long run you are right. Existence is futile, That's a dangerous thing to know.
