    About this ebook

    (Formerly Christmas in The Bottoms)

    Dickens meets Ebenezer Jenkins In Christmas in Linken Park Chicago. This scrooge is an Undertaker who operates a BBQ cafe under the same roof. His crematory runs day and night. He's just like stingy rascal in the original the tale. After three disturbing dreams, Ebenezer is a changed man who vows to do good by his fellow man and the poor.
    Two jive talking "dozens players" help tell the story. They interpret the dreams and assign each one numbers, which are used for their Pick Three Lotto picks. You won't find these two characters anywhere but in Christmas In Linken Park. Their story of Mud Turtle Mississippi will have you cracking your sides with laughter. Yes there are the dreams, a Bob Crutchet, and of course redemption in the end just like in A Christmas Carol. But this is a lot funnier.
