it was always said of him that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!

• …and as good a man as the good old City knew…
• …before you dot another i…
• …about to raise your salary!
• …as if he were trying to overtake nine o’clock.
• But he was early at the office next morning.
• It’s I. Your Uncle Scrooge.
• Scrooge looked so irresistibly pleasant…
• It was a turkey!
• The Spirits have done it all in one night.
• I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!
• …may sponge away the writing on this stone!
• …the shadows of the things that Will be…
• …this first parting there was among us…
• The only emotion that the Ghost could show him, caused by the event, was one of pleasure.
• The case of this unhappy man might be my own
• Are there no prisons?
• The boy is Ignorance. The girl is Want.
• …and taught Scrooge his precepts
• His offenses carry their own punishment
• There was nothing of high mark in this.
• Bob Cratchit’s house
• Come in and know me better man!
• …shadows of the things that have been.
• What Idol has displaced you?
• He has the power to render us happy or unhappy…
• …tuned like fifty stomachaches.
• It’s old Fezziwig alive again!
• Too much getting up by candlelight…
• The school is not quite deserted…
• “What”, exclaimed the Ghost…
• The First Ghost
• Mankind was my business…
• Speak comfort to me
• It is a ponderous chain!
• There’s more of gravy than of grave about you…
• Ask me who I was…
• The chain Marley drew…
• …double locked himself in…
• Darkness is cheap…
• Marley’s Face
• He lived in chambers…
• …even more congenial frost.
• …decrease the surplus population…
• …open their shut-up hearts freely…
• Boiled with his own pudding…
• …not being a man of strong imagination, he failed…
• Even the blind men’s dogs
• A tight-fisted hand at the grindstone
• Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man as the good old City knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough in the good old world.

“A merry Christmas, Bob!” said Scrooge with an earnestness that could not be mistaken, as he clapped him on the back. “A merrier Christmas, Bob, my good fellow, than I have given you for many a year! I’ll raise your salary, and endeavour to assist your struggling family, and we will discuss your affairs this very afternoon, over a Christmas bowl of smoking bishop, Bob! Make up the fires and buy another coal-scuttle before you dot another i, Bob Cratchit!”

“Now, I’ll tell you what, my friend,” said Scrooge. “I am not going to stand this sort of thing any longer. And therefore,” he continued, leaping from his stool, and giving Bob such a dig in the waistcoat that he staggered back into the tank again: “and therefore I am about to raise your salary!”

His hat was off before he opened the door; his comforter too. He was on his stool in a jiffy; driving away with his pen, as if he were trying to overtake nine o’clock.

I have a lot of interests, as most of you already know. Therefore, I have a lot of different blogs, events,  and groups in my portfolio of online engagements. I also try to make myself available wherever people want to converse. This means that each of my interests usually has multiple presences on the Internet.

Here is a list of almost all of the ways you can talk with me and learn about what is happening in my life and work. You don’t need to, nor should you, try to subscribe to all of them. That would only lead to you seeing multiple copies of the same information. Rather, pick and choose whatever ways you would like to consume my “content.” If you are a heavy Facbeook user, you might want to join my pages there. Is Google+ catching your fancy? I have a home over there, too. Maybe email is your thing? No problem, almost all of my content can be emailed directly to your Inbox.

My goal is to make my content available in whatever way makes the most sense to you. It also means you can contact me and converse with me on your favorite online services. This list is also broken down by interest. If you want to see everything I post and share, the first section is where you can find it. This will contain information from all my areas of interest including events, careers, gardening, technology and my organizations.

Maybe, though, you are only interested in my gardening information. You can narrow your reading to my gardening blog or Facebook page. The same applies for careers, technology and my organizations. Select whatever is most interesting, and valuable, to you.

Thank you for supporting me, my blogs and podcasts and my organization over the years! I look forward to talking with you — and sharing more with you — in 2015.
