The Ghost of Christmas Past waves to two doorways. Two very plain doors with numbers on the front. The kinds of doors that are found on many hotel rooms. One has the numbers "1991" on it, while the other says "2007".
For those who enter 1991, they find themselves, not in a hotel room but a small living room, with two young boys, one not quite a teenager and the other not quite ten. There's no tree or decorations, just snow outside the window.
For those who enter 2007, though, the scene is a bit different. It actually is a hotel room, with a small tree decorated with car air fresheners as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" plays in the background. Sam, several years younger, looks up as the door opens and another man enters, carrying something, and looking around in surprise.
Sam grins, holding up a cup in his hand. "Hey. You get the beer?"
