As far as she's concerned, he's going to be waiting a very long time. Bachelor Duncan Montgomerie hails from late 18th century Scotland where he enjoyed life to its fullest, something he continues in death. Having been dead a while, he is well equipped to handle the afterlife where time doesn't exist and phasing is the norm. What has him stymied is his connection to the uptight Jessica and the strange feelings he's experiencing being around her, even though she refuses to listen to his advice. Duncan needs to figure out what it all means and fast because the rules change after death and the path Jessica is headed down could cost her her soul.

Download or read book How to Keep Christmas Well written by Charles Dickens and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FRESH LOOK ATA TIMELESS CLASSIC A redeeming mixture of old and new, How to Keep Christmas Well refreshes the oft trodden path of Scrooge from miser to mercy by gifting the reader a peek under Dickens' renowned wrapping. Weighed down by the hustle and bustle of the modern Christmas season, it has become harder than ever to keep Christmas well. This, added to the tattering repetition of an old tale of redemption, has caused the jovial flavor of A Christmas Carol to lose its haunting spark. Catchings' reflections and poetry dust off the original 1843 text and present it, with revived ghostliness, to the modern reader. Page by page, the reader is drawn back into the slippers of Scrooge so that they can, again for the first time, learn How to Keep Christmas Well.
