Making sure you get all of the necessary things for example: presents, decor, food and, travel expenses.

To some people, Christmas Spirit means to be jolly, giving, and praising, but to the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Christmas Spirit is split into three forms: Past, Present, and Future. These spirits come to show Scrooge what his life was like, is like, and will be like without Christmas Spirit.

In the article “Let the decorations begin, bring on the holiday” The Lakeland Times ineffectively introduces a call for the Christmas spirit by encouraging individuals to decorate for the holiday early. This appeal ineffectively uses several points creating an article full of generalizations rather than actual evidence including, the glumness brought by a struggling economy, too much focus on politics, the need for unity within the country, commercialization and how it is not affected early decorating, as well as how early decorating shows…
