With only two weeks to go until Christmas, I start to wonder which person will awake on Christmas morning- Scrooge or the reformed Scrooge?  With all of the trials and tribulations of 2013, one might think that only the real Scrooge is the possible answer.  However, right now my outlook is that of hope, charity, and thanks.  So at this point, reformed Scrooge is looking like a sure bet- and long overdue.  I wish the best to all for the remainder of the year.
