(Story
Credits: Beyond the obvious influences [TBAA, Beauty and the Beast, and my
friends on the JABB YG] credit must also go to the people behind "A
Year With Out Santa Claus" who brought us the Heat Miser and Snow
Miser. And if you didn't catch it, LJA's "Andrew, I'll love you til the day I die" was a
reference to the scene between young Mary and George Bailey in the soda
shoppe in "It's a Wonderful Life" wherein the former tells the
partially deaf latter "George Bailey, I'll love you 'til the day I
die." Finally, I couldn't resist a Dickensian Tiny Tim moment
with LJA's final line. Also, the entire idea for the theme of
second chances came
while I was reading "Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol" quoted
above. I had the privilege of seeing Tom Mula perform it last
night and it strengthened my resolve to go with that theme for this
story. ~Jenni 12-24-06)
