The Invitation, by TB, Esq. comments please?

This is troubling and I really can't say why it disturbs me on such a deep level. Perhaps it is just the looming presence of the holidays and the lack of spirit in me. Or maybe it is the ghost of Christmas Past. Whatever. Scrooge is my friend. So is the Grinch.And I'm ALMOST as west as I can go without falling into the ocean.
