Eye Spy #4.5
Nice: An Eye Spy Christmas Carol
If you're the kind of guy who not only can see ghosts on a regular basis, but your lover is one, when one shows up to warn you you'll be visited by three more, it's less a frightening event than just another annoyance. At least that's how DB feels when it happens to him on Christmas Eve.
Can Jesse and the other ghosts convince DB to mend his Scrooge-like Christmas ways?
Jesse and DB are the principal characters in the Eye Spy books, including Something Green and Mother May I.

"Born in the wilds of Canada, Drew grew up with an axe in one hand and a book in the other. Drew's love of writing is outshone only by his love of men. Lucky for him, he can combine the two.
From his father, Drew learned how to wield that axe, fix a carburetor and bake a mean can of beans using fire, gas or electricity. From his mother, he learned how to rotate the tires, turn apples into just about anything from cider to pie to a meatless lasagna, and how to swim. At twelve Drew ran away to join the circus, only to run away from it when he realized just how badly elephant poop stinks.
When Drew ran out of books to read he started writing his own and never looked back. His home is filled with books, unfinished manuscripts and his grandmother's knick knacks. His best friend is a dog named Barney and his pet fish keep him entertained for hours.
Drew writes about love because he still believes in it. Even though he's never found that special man himself, he's never given up hope. Well, never on a permanent basis, anyway."

It's Christmas season and DB is a grouch. He just dislikes the idea of constant carols or the festivities that seem to be all out around him. Plus, his ghost-lover Jesse hasn't been around almost all day and DB misses him. After his secretary, Sandra, leaves him for the holiday, DB is visited by a ghost of PI that used to live in the building. He says that DB will be visited by three ghosts that will take no for an answer ...
Borrowing the classic Dickens, this is a nice short that takes a glimpse of one day in the life of DB and Jesse. Apart from the Ghost of the Christmas Present, I don't see the significance of the identity and the message of Past!Ghost and Future!Ghost. They don't really change anything in DB's attitude. However, if you're a fan of DB and Jesse like myself, you will not miss their Christmas's story, don't you?

Well, I just had to finish off the series. It's Christmas and DB is not feeling it. He finds the whole thing annoying. On Christmas Eve he's visited by the ghost of the owner of the office building who tells him to expect 3 ghosts. DB really doesn't care, he sees more than 3 ghosts before he has his first coffee everyday. Jesse finally comes home late and claims he's the spirit of Christmas present and they are getting it on when they are interrupted by the Ghost of Christmas Future who warns him about smoking and poor health habits. Both Jesse and DB are pissed that the guy interrupted them, and after being unable to get back in the mood he decides to give Jesse his gift, a small tree with ghostly decorations. Jesse is touched and has been working on moving things and manages to get one of the ornaments on the tree. It's just a cute story of the two guys, still in love and with Jesse being able to hold his form more often and maybe DB finds a bit of the Christmas spirit after all. A cute follow-up for fans of the series.

I really enjoyed reading this story. There is not much thing in the way of plot, but reading this gives me comfortable feelings about DB and Jeese. It's like meeting old friends, and get to know what they've been up to. I cannot with for another installment of this series.

I love the two characters but this was pretty pointless.

The MC is a bit of a curmudgeon which was never really fixed, but the retelling of A Christmas Carol was funny and clever.
