Carter Henderson is the manager of the Old Village Mall.

In some ways he is a Scrooge like man. He does, however,

take part in Christmas, but only because of its financial benefits. He’s basically happy with his life until one night the ghost of his great grandfather visits him.

Seeking advice from people at Peter’s Pub, he is told to go to the old candle shop for answers. When he walks into the back room of the Candle Shop and finds a candle that has a

moonlit night scene in it, he is mystically drawn into the candle’s scene. He finds that he is still in the same location,

but he has been transported back in time to the dawn of creation. Very confused, he is now met by the shop’s owner, Adonai. He eventually understands the advice of his great grandfather and reappraises his life. This is not a retelling of Dickens’ Christmas Carol, but rather, a totally new story with a host Biblical references.
