Erekle Grdzelishvili – Modern Scrooge

My name is Scrooge. I was born in 2000. I am 22 years old. Now I live alone, away from my family. I am studying computer engineering at the University. I love reading books. I especially read adventure books. However lately I read more often with kindle. Easier to carry and more comfortable. I love the New Year more than any other holiday. I am especially prepared for 2022. I found recipes for delicious dishes on the Internet, I bought all the ingredients online, I did not have to stand in line in supermarkets. I baked cakes, cookies and packed everything nicely.

The Christmas tree also came out original. On the YouTube channel I saw how Christmas trees, toys, various accessories are made from waste and I made and decorated everything with my own hands. A very enjoyable process was the preparation of the Christmas tree trim. I started in late October. I became so skilled at creating my own original toys, I also recorded video tutorials and posted them on the YouTube channel. You will be surprised and my channel has over a million subscribers. So a new hobby and source of income came to me.

I made an electronic greeting card for Christmas and emailed all my acquaintances. In short, a lot of money is saved thanks to the internet. This year I am especially looking forward to the New Year. Unfortunately, I cannot travel with my parents. Instead, my past and future, as well as Marley, are visiting me. They gave me special gifts: the spirit of the past gave me a mirror because it reminded me of my childhood. The soul of the future is a prophetic cup to understand my future. Marley’s soul even gave her a magic pen, which in itself wrote the words dictated on a piece of paper.

On New Year’s Eve we went to a children’s and nursing home. We gave lots of presents, sweets, toys and clothes to the children and the elderly living there. Then we held a concert together. I was happy to do a small favor for them and one day we made it beautiful. When I got home, I also came across secret Santa gifts: an iPhone 13 and a laptop. The New Year preparations went very well, but one fact made me think a lot: there was a lot of noise in the New Year. A torrent of rain fell. The noise covered the whole city. They were very scared dogs and tried to take shelter in my house, they were barking, barking, and asking for help with frightened eyes. Therefore, this year I am going to shelter stray animals and convince people not to let go of the torches.

I want to end the pandemic in 2022 and get back to an active life: football, swimming and being visited often by my friends and relatives, I also really want to travel with my parents.

Gocha Tsiklauri – New Year’s story

In one big city called London, lived a little boy named Ebenezer Scrooge. In the city where he lived, the New Year was especially celebrated. On the first day of New Year, a parade was held, which was attended by millions of people. This parade was special because the money raised in it was donated to London charities. The Ebenezer loved New Year and always looked at it. 

It’s coming. On New Year’s Eve, he would put a plate on the table before going to bed to leave Santa present for him. It was dawn on New Year’s morning. The Scrooge was 4 years old. He happily waited for the gifts, but didn’t receive them. The reason to this was death of his father, who was sending money to Santa for gifts. So it went on every year, this greatly affected the small Scrooge, from an early age he had to take care of himself. Become uncommunicative. He lost trust in other people, he only thought about collecting money to fulfill the desires he had dreamed of as a child. 

Scrooge also treated employees badly, did not give salaries to employees. In modern life, Scrooge would not be able to retain employees and would have to close the company because without employees, the company could not exist.
