Blurb: Bah Humbug!

Tim Cratchit hates everything about Christmas—the gaudy decorations, the sickeningly cheerful music, and the pathetic tradition of exchanging meaningless gifts. Not to mention the lousy memories of holidays passed. When Santa gave other kids Barbie dolls and Tonka trucks, Tim got stuck with a wheelchair. Now, the one thing Tim looks forward to on Christmas is catching up on work and ignoring all the festive drivel.

That is until Henry Scott, Tim’s star employee, interrupts his boss’s plans to give him a present. Tim unceremoniously shows the man the door, but Henry won’t go so easily. Inspired by liquid courage, Henry finds the guts to tell Tim exactly what he thinks of him—and it’s anything but merry. Except for that kiss…

What follows only makes Tim question his sanity. A near death experience, flashbacks, premonitions, and visits from his deceased godfather show Tim how lonely and depressing his life has become. Will Tim be able to recapture the spirit of Christmas or will he forever remain a bona fide Scrooge?

Review: Tim Cratchit certainly moved up from a poor little boy using hand made crutches to a thriving businessman albeit in a wheelchair.  His hatred for all things Christmas and people has given him a persona worse than Ebenezer Scrooge.  He hates and in return is hated, by everyone except a limited few.

One of those few is his loyal employee Henry Scott, who for whatever reason has a crush on his boss.  How could anyone have a crush on Cratchit?  Frost takes us on Cratchit’s journey of discovery, his realization that he is a miser, that he is hated, and that he is loved.  When he wakes to the realization that there might be salvation, his life is thrust deeper into despair.

Though this is a short story, we get a good glimpse into Tim’s world as well as Henry’s.  This take on the classic Christmas story, that has had many variations written over the years, brings us along a different path as Tim learns his lessons.  Of course there is a happy ending, it’s a Christmas story after all.

If you want a new take on a Christmas story, give this one a read.
