A Monkees/ Beatles Christmas Carol 1

The classic story of "A Christmas Carol", using the Beatles and Monkees as characters. I've seen this done with many other series of characters, so I decided to write one as well. Please don't take offense if your favorite Monkee or Beatle is playing Scrooge or Marley. I like both Mike and John (hint hint, the characters) but they just work as Scrooge and Marley better than, say, Peter and Ringo. Anyway, as you know, Scrooge goes good in the end anyway, and I leave it a bit open ended about Marley. (You can take the thing in the last chapter any way you want to) A Very Merry Christmas (To anyone who celebrates Christmas) And just plain Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to everyone else!
