Hello & happy holiday season to friends on the boards both near & far! Gather yourselves around the tree, grab a mug of hot cocoa, and let us tell a beloved classic that truely has meaning for this wonderful time of year. I am talking, of course, about Charles Dicken's timeless tale: A Christmas Carol.

Oh, but there is one catch however: I will begin the story with a paragraph, and other members will pick up where previous posters left off...continuing the story until finished. One more catch...this is the WDWMagic version of A Christmas Carol...so all characters within the story are members here. Shall we begin?

"It was Christmas Eve long ago. The WDWMagic boards were buzzing with members all filled with excitement for the upcoming holiday. One member, however, was not filled with the joy of the season...the notorious member known as Ebenezer Nemo14! Nemo14 would throw things & constantly taunt her clerk, the humble and gentle Bob Sagratchet. Bob was a kind gentleman with a loving family to feed, including his weak & frail son: Jimmy Thick (Though the family referred to him as "Tiny Jim"). That night, Nemo14 received a PM from the Moderator known as The Mom. The PM read:
"Nemo14, as a result of your constant humiliating of kind Bob and your stingy attitude toward Christmas, tonight you will be visited by 3 forum members. The first member will visit when the bell tolls 1:00am, the second when the bell tolls 2:00am, and 3rd when the bell tolls 3:00am." Nemo14 was shocked after reading this warning...so shocked, that she had a hard time drifting off to sleep that night. But finally...

To be continued...

...her PAST! "How could this be??", thought Nemo14. "These are all faces & images from my childhood!" WED99 showed Nemo14 many fond memories of Christmas'es from long ago. From early school years under headmaster Matt7187, to being an apprentice for the kind-hearted afaresewig (or Fezziwig, as his employees called him). Nemo14 was brought back to happier times; times when Christmas filled her heart with joy & laughter. Then WED99 showed Nemo14 a memory that was not so fond...the true love that slipped away...the one & only...

a certain MLB team finally won the World Series. Disappointment had united them for so long, but now, what was left to complain about except for....

...the fact that they could not hold their victory parade in downtown Houston due to expected thunderstroms that day. But despite the Astros finally winning a world championship, Nemo14 became bitter, and full of greed. This pushed PUSH away (no pun intended). So PUSH found new love, and Nemo14 was left alone with her fortunes. "Take me back home, WED99, I can no longer handle these sad memories." said Nemo14. But before WED99 could return Nemo14 home, there was yet one more Christmas past which must be observed. The year of the horrible Christmas pudding accident! The tragic event occured one December afternoon long ago when dave&di were throwing...

...got angry and knocked Crush Dude into the pudding blender. The scene was so graphic & violent, I can not share details in this story. Let's just say there is a good reason why they call him "Crush" Dude.
By this point, Nemo14 had seen enough. She demanded WED99 take her back home. Once back home, Nemo14 fell back asleep for what seemed like no time at all until the clock bell tolled 2:00am! A voice boomed from the dining room...through Nemo14's corridors: "Come in, come in, and know me better man!" It was cba, the forum member of Christmas present!
"PRESENTS!!!" exclaimed Nemo14, as she rushed into the room searching for gifts.
"No, not presents", said cba, "Present, as in right now. I am the forum member of Christmas Present."
"PRESENTS!!!" exclaimed Nemo14 once again.
cba: *Facepalm* "It's going to be a long night I fear."
Nemo14 grabbed hold of cba's cloak, and they journeyed to current day at the WDWMagic forums. The first thing they witnessed was..."

...the Test Track refurb thread. "Oh, so they finally opened the new Test Track?" "You're right, but that's like two days old. Hey, I'm going to get a snack" and they posted in the restaurants forum. After that they arrived at poor Bob Sagratche's profile page. "What a small ham" noticed Ebeneezer Nemo 14. "Yes. But do you notice how happy they are, also?" "How are they happy" asked Ebeneezer Nemo 14. "They got two new likes in the Lucas thread" replied cba. "Ok..."

...Nemo14 was confused. How could the Sagratchet family be so filled with Christmas spirit yet have so little? She watched as a touching scene evolved: Bob sat the entire family down at the dinner table. His eldest son, Pumbas Nakasagratchet, was drunker than Cooter Brown before the table was even set. Then Nemo14 saw something that really pulled at her heartstrings...young Tiny Jim hobbled into the room to be seated at the family table. He looked so frail, like a shrimp popping around on a skillet. Many years of punching people's noses at Epcot had made poor Jimmy weak & feeble. Yet despite it all, Tiny Jim seemed to be the driving force behind the family. Bob hoisted a glass to make a toast: "May God bless us this Christmas day."
"God bless us...everyone!" replied Tiny Jim.
As the family began to eat their small feast, cba turned to Nemo14: "Now you see what your stinginess has done to this poor family? Yet they still have so much love for one another."
Nemo14 was speechless as she watched.
"Come," said cba, "There is still much more to see here in the present."
"PRESENTS!!!" exclaimed Nemo14
cba: "Would you STOP that!! That joke got old before it even started!"
cba led Nemo14 to another scene...a party scene...at the home of her nephew, the one & only...

WDWmagic. Yes, the administrator of the forums was having a Christmas party.
"Dang, I was invited. I should've accepted the invitation. Hey, are those, yes, PRESENTS! GIVE ME THOSE PRESENTS!" yelled out Nemo14.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" said the very angry cba.
"Sheesh, you could have said that before,"
"Sigh. OK, anyway do you see the Christmas spirit your nephew has?"
"Where was I? Oh yeah, PRESENTS!"
"Why'd I take this job? But thank goodness, my time is nearly complete. I'm sure you'll love the next and final spirit...."

"When I got to go" said cba. "Death, I feel really bad for you" and he sped off.
"Are you the ghost of what is yet to come" wimpered Nemo14. The hooded figure said nothing.
"Hello, earth to Death." asked Nemo14. Again nothing.
"Yoohoo!" Suddenly Nemo14 found herself in front of two men talking to each other.
"Excuse me" asked Nemo14. "Is this 2012 almost at 2013? Because I want some future presents. Is a wiiU possible..."

...The hooded figure finally revealed himself, it was none other than rsoxguy!
"Are YOU the ghost of Christmas future?" asked a puzzled Nemo14.
"Of course not. I'm rsoxguy." Replied rsoxguy (okay, that was redundant).
"Are you here to show me the future in hopes that I change my ways?" Asked Nemo14
"No." Answered rsoxguy. "But I can show you some really cool zombie pics!!"
"Let me get this straight," said Nemo14, "If you were the hooded figure all along, but are NOT here to show me my future to progress this story along...then where is the real ghost of Christmas future?"
"He's on some sort of labor strike." Responded rsoxguy. "Come, I will take you to see events in your future if that's what you want. But I must warn you...these images may be shocking."
The first place rsoxguy led Nemo14 to was the Sagratchet home, where Bob & his family looked very sad. To Nemo14's shock, she discovered that poor Tiny Jim had...

"Died" said rsoxguy.
"No." said Nemo14. "No, not poor, Tiny Jim."
"I'm afraid that will happen if you don't fix your ways. I'm sorry, I don't usually talk like this. Really, I'm much cooler. It's in my job description, which will hopefully become part-time."
"Please, prevent this tragedy from happening! I would've gotten him to follow me!" pleaded Nemo 14.
"Only you can stop this future from happening." said rsoxguy. "Come, there is more to see."
And where they were at their destination (which was apparently a tombstone that Nemo14 could've sworn she saw waiting line at the Haunted Mansion), Nemo14 nearly had a heart attack.
At the tombstone they saw the name...

..."Poetess" engraved on it.
"What is a poetess doing in the HM queue?" thought a puzzled Nemo14 to herself.
Then she saw the bubbles coming out of another tomb, the children playing with musical instrument buttons...
"NO!!!!" exclaimed Nemo14. "What have they done to the ambience of the HM queue?? This cannot be!"
She quickly turned to rsoxguy in a panic. "Tell me these are but shadows of things that might be...tell me I can change all this!"
"Nope, sorry", responded rsoxguy, "this new HM interactive queue is here to stay regardless of your actions."
"Oh, well that sorta stinks", replied Nemo14.
"Indeed it does. Now shall we continue our journey?" said rsoxguy.
He led her from the HM interactive queue to another scene. Here Nemo14 witnesses sweetpee_1993 and maryszhi joking about a member who recently got banned from the forums due to causing shenanigans amongst her brethren.
"Well, I guess she can no longer throw pudding & other edibles at poor 'ol Bob", laughed maryszhi.
"True", chuckled sweetpee_1993, "poor gal has been given...the BOOT!" They both laughed & carried on about this banned member.
Nemo14 slowly turned to rsoxguy and asked with a nervous voice: "Who's banning were they speaking of?"
rsoxguy stood silent, and simply pointed to a name on the Banned List.
Nemo14 peered at the name...the name which sent a chill down her spine...EBENEZER NEMO14.
"NO!!!!!!" wept Nemo14. "I will change my ways. I will live with Christmas in my heart the whole year through. I will not throw things or taunt poor Bob unless I really feel like it. I will change...I will change!!!"
*poof*
Nemo14 awakened. It was all a dream! She was back in her home! She quickly ran to her window and shouted to luv who was running by outside: "Excuse me, what day is it today?"
"Today? Why it's Christmas day, of course!" answered luv.
"Horrah!! I haven't missed it!"
Nemo14 ran out into the streets. The first thing she did was...
