Alexandre Beridze – Christmas Carol

Once upon a time there was an old man called Carol who lived in a large crowded city. He worked as an accountant in a big company and was addicted to his job. He was the only one in the whole city who didn’t like Christmas. The reason why he hated Christmas was that his closest friend died in an accident at Christmas. Since then, he spent all Christmas counting his salary and all the money he had collected and he forced one of his assistants to do the same with him. He never let his assistant spend holidays with his family and friends. In 1979 when everybody was preparing for Christmas, he was counting all his money with his assistant as usual. One day Carol’s cousin entered his office room and invited him to his home for Christmas but Carol as usual, said no as he hated Christmas and everything related to that day. Carol’s assistant told Carol to go to celebrate the holiday with his family and relatives but Carol refused and continued counting his money. After that Carol’s cousin and assistant made a plan to prank Carol and make him love Christmas again. Carol’s assistant asked his cousin why he hated Christmas so much and that’s when he found out the real story. So they decided together to prank him with a ghost costume. One of them dressed as Carol’s dead best friend and went to Carol’s house in the middle of a night. They scared him to death but the main thing is that they asked Carol in the name of his friend that he should forget about the accident and have the best of his life by enjoying every day, especially holidays like Christmas. They never forgot to tell him to stop counting his money every day and let his assistant have some rest at holidays. Since then, Carol changed completely and started celebrating Christmas with his new friends and relatives again.

What I do at Christmas?

At Christmas me and my family go to Bakuriani and celebrate Christmas there. We do different activities like skiing, making snowmen, snowboarding and so on. This year my cousins and aunt joined my family on a Christmas trip.
