"Spirit of Christmas Present":

"Mortal! We Spirits of Christmas do not live only one day of our year.
We live the whole three-hundred and sixty-five. So is it true of the
Child born in Bethlehem. He does not live in men's hearts one day of
the year, but in all days of the year. You have chosen not to seek Him
in your heart. Therefore, you will come with me and seek Him in the
hearts of men of good will." (Dickens, "A Christmas Carol")

Patrick Macnee ("The Avengers")

I saw a recent version of "A Christmas Carol" has been made starring Patrick Stewart, looking forward to catching that, eventually.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
