Scrooge awakens to a visitation by one of the three spirits that Janice mentioned, who calls herself Christmas Past.
Esmerelda believes she is just having some kind of extended nightmare, probably brought about by some spoiled Beluga caviar she had before bed (and she makes note to fire the entire chef staff in the morning).
Scrooge decides to follow this figment of her dream into the past, to view the christmas of her childhood.
I put a cone on the floor because the story mentions a hat that she carries, which Scrooge uses to put the spirit out like a candle.

Seeing as how I just completed a "NC-17" series with the minotaur/gladiator, I decided to go pure "Pin-up" with this "Christmas Carol" series ^_^
Esmerelda: Why do you torment me with these visions what evil have i done to deserve such pain.
Past: Your pain is your own doing the past is the past don't blame me. But you only drove one love away from you there still time from one more.
