Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatsoever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change for anything he chose to put his hand to.

Re-read that book every Christmas eve.
That's a great tradition. It's been a while since I've read it. I have been reading an old edition very slowly and savoring the way Dickens brings us into the story. Brilliant.
