I did a similar contest last year. Just to review: I would like a poem 20 - 60 lines, written from the point of view of one of the characters in The Christmas Carol. Rhyming or not, good grammar and spelling as usual.
Pick Scrooge or Cratchit, if you must, but I'd really like to hear from someone more obscure -- Scrooge's nephew's wife, Mr. Fezziwig, one of Tiny Tim's sisters. Hint: I think Scrooge's housekeeper is a great character as are the people scavenging Scrooge's belongings in the Christmas Future chapter.
There were some excellent entries last year and you are free to PW and give me one of them but I would prefer fresh work.
God bless us everyone.

Thanks for the silver cup. I enjoyed the contest: a bit of a challenge, which may explain the low number of entries. Great idea, nevertheless. God bless us every one, as Tiny Tim put it.
