A WeeBe Querrian exclusive interview with the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.
Querrian: Hello, everyone. I am here today with three icons of the Holiday Spirit. Please welcome the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
Past: We’re delighted to be here. I will remember this day always when I look back and say “I was on WeeBe Querrian.”
Present: I’m happy to be present here today.
Future: I knew this day would come for me.
Querrian: I see. Yes, thank you. Thank you for bringing such Holiday spirit to my show.
Future: We tend to do that, you know.
Querrian: Yes. Now the big question. So which one of you can tell me what I’m getting for Christmas this year?
Future: Well, that’s hard to say. You see, I deal with future Christmases. The Ghost of Christmas Present deals with the now.
Present: Yes. So this coming Christmas is sort of a gray area for us right now. Ask me on Christmas day.
Querrian: Well, on Christmas day I’ll already know. I mean, can’t you at least show me what people are buying me?
Present: If they were doing it right now.
Querrian: How about if they bought me something yesterday? Ghost of Christmas Past, can you look into the past and tell me?
Past: I only deal with Christmases that have already occurred. I can’t help you either on this one, WeeBe. Sorry.
Querrian: Well, what the heck here?
Past: Would you like for me to show you all the presents you received from last Christmas?
Querrian: I didn’t like them then and I won’t like them now.
Future: Hey, I can show you what you get next year. That should be pretty exciting for you.
Querrian: No, don’t do that. I’ll have to wait an entire year just to get it then. I can’t wait that long.
Future: Suit yourself.
Querrian: So let’s move on then. Now you were to show Ebeneezer Scrooge the true meaning of Christmas, right?
Future: Well, sort of. I guess you can say that.
Querrian: What was the purpose of showing him his entire past and the present? Couldn’t you just show him his future?
Past: Well, we had to have some sort of build up, you see. Your past can dictate your future.
Present: Yes, and what he does in the present can also have an effect on his future.
Future: And I show him what those consequences are.
Querrian: Well, we all know that.
