In book is three nights in a row. So it’d be like the 28th when we wakes up. I prefer the modern three times in Christmas Eve.

“The misery with all them was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power for ever.”

I’m using Gemini to explain phrases I didn’t know. Also learned it’s called a Carol and in staves not chapters because it’s to be a “song of joy” revisited each Christmas. Though also it was written quickly to pay off Charlie’s debts.

Jennifer Riggins Oh but wait! (From Gemini but makes sense… kind of…) While the spirits' visits feel like they span several nights, the entire journey occurs in a single night. Scrooge goes to bed on Christmas Eve and wakes up on Christmas Morning.
• The Spirits’ Schedule: Marley warns that the ghosts will arrive over three successive nights at 1:00 AM. However, the Ghost of Christmas Present reveals that his time is limited to the single day of Christmas.
• Symbolic Compression: The "Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come" shows a future that has not happened yet, proving time is not fixed.
• The Resolution: Upon waking, Scrooge realizes the spirits "did it all in one night," showing that the supernatural realm operates outside of linear human time.
