Hello Dear Reader,

First off, I would like to say Merry Christmas, or what holiday you celebrate this time of year, ya'know, I don't judge. This is time of year where everything becomes lighter, happier, and more joyous. I would like to thank the Victorians for giving us our modern Christmas traditions. For if it weren't for Queen Victoria's German Family bringing the tree to Britain, we wouldn't have the tradition as we would have now. Speaking of Victorians, the great writer Charles Dickens lived in this time period and wrote the most famous novel known around the world in 1843, but it needs no introduction, this story is A Christmas Carol. This told the story of a rich man who finds it in his heart to give to others, and finds the Christmas spirit within him. There have been many adaptations, crossovers, and versions of this classic, and this will be my two cents into this. Believe or don't, like Leroy Anderson's musical piece "Sleigh Ride", I came up with this idea durning the summer months. I was actually working on my other publication of "Toons In Revolt" and helping me was classical music. I ran across the Muppets Christmas Carol song, Mr. Scrooge and immediately started to think about the story of Mr. Scrooge's transformation from a humbug to a all around caring person. I would also like to add that this story was also a commentary on the state of Britain in the early Industrial Age. In a way, I figured I put the Family Guy character Peter Griffin in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. I am fully aware that there was a Family Guy Christmas Carol parody, but I wanted this to be a grand crossover featuring various cartoons and anime. There have been many revisions and role replacing that I did and originally, I had Eric Cartman of South Park play the role of Scrooge. I even thought Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist play the role of Bob Crachit, making little Alphonse Elric Tiny Tim. But with a set cast of characters that will be posted soon, I have come up with the perfect holiday crossover. With this much exposition out of the way, it is time for me to get some disclaimers out of the way. I do not own any of the cartoons nor anime used in this story. They are the property of their rightful owners, whomever they are. The following events are purely fictional and have no ties to any persons, kingdoms, historical accounts, etc. any relation to other real life peoples and events are obviously coincidental. Some of the relationships and happenings are based off of canon from the shows, but otherwise, it's all made up, ships that appear and events happening to the characters that do not line up with canon are made up, for the sake of entertainment. Also, when writing this, I figured that most of the characters of the other shows were to be taken down a couple of ages, to fit with the whole lore of the story. Most characters will be depicted younger than how they usually appear. This fic is rated PG-13 for language. The first chapters I have completed will be posted right now, further chapters will follow when ever I can. Expect this fanfiction to be full released past Christmas. Please enjoy this Christmas story of redemption.

May God bless us everyone,
