Hey guys, Michael Webkinz here with a special room design post!
I love getting room designs from all of you, so I was happy when I saw that Nattie had sent me 6 great designs that actually told the classic story of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. As Christmas is just around the corner, I thought that today would be the perfect time to share them with all of you. I have included the captions that Nattie sent with each screenshot so, sit back, relax… and enjoy “A Christmas Carol”… as told by Nattie!
A Christmas Carol, Part One… “The Counting House in London, 1843”
Christmas Eve is cold and bleak and we are at Scrooge and Marley’s Counting house, Marley has now been dead seven years. Ebenezer Scrooge is cold hearted and says Christmas is a humbug. Scrooge declines his nephew Fred’s Christmas dinner invitation, but allows his clerk Bob Cratchit to have Christmas Day off saying that it is a poor excuse picking a man’s pocket every 25th of December:
A Christmas Carol, Part Two… “Scrooge’s bedroom and the ghost of Marley”
Scrooge is visited by his dead partner Marley’s ghost, who is cursed to wander the earth dragging heavy chains due to his life of selfishness and greed. He tells Scrooge that to avoid this fate, Scrooge will be visited by three spirits or ghosts, (the ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the the Ghost of Christmas Yet to come) and that Scrooge will need to listen to them and to change his ways:
A Christmas Carol, Part three… “The ghost of Christmas Past”
The ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge around to happier times when Scrooge was kinder to others. He had a lonely childhood, but was close to his younger sister Fan. Here he is enjoying a Christmas party with his kind hearted boss, Mr Fezziwig. People are dancing and talking and having a good time including Ebenezer Scrooge:
A Christmas Carol, Part Four… “The Ghost of Christmas Present”.
The ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge all of London celebrating including the impoverished family of Bob Cratchit, his clerk. Bob’s son, Tiny Tim, is full of happiness despite being very seriously ill and the Cratchit family enjoys Christmas despite being poor:
A Christmas Carol, Part Five… “The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come”.
The last ghost shows Scrooge the funeral of a wretched man that no one attended. There is only pleasure not sadness in this man’s death. They go to the neglected grave of this man and it bears the name Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge then pledges to the ghost that he will change his miserly ways:
A Christmas Carol, Part Six… “Scrooge on Christmas morning”
Scrooge awakens in the morning and he hasn’t missed Christmas this year. He has repented, and he now has joy in his heart. He sends a prize turkey to the Crachit’s, gives Bob Crachit a raise, and spends the day with his nephew Fred’s family. He is a forever changed man:
The End

The Christmas Carole movies are my family’s favouite Christmas movies. We try to watch all different versions. These rooms are fantastic…love the detail and the colours chosen (I especially love the colour of Scrooges bedroom). Fantastic work Nattie. ….boorepko
Thank you so very much!
AWESOME what planning in and outside of a box. I suggested the Deluxe item paint walls gray and add Xmas and Halloween items like Nightmare before Christmas . THESE ARE JUST SO VERY GOOD !!
Thank you and good ideas.
WOW wow WOW!! These designs are absolutely amazing!! Nattie I can tell you took a lot of time to find just the perfect touches for each room and the detail is fantastic! I enlarged each screenshot so I could stare in awe at them and each time you go back to look you see something that you didn’t notice the first 2 or 3 times through. Nattie thank you so much for sharing your creations, they are very awe inspiring and inspirational. …… One question what are the “desks” that Scrooge and Cratchitt sitting on in the first scene? Everything just matches so perfectly Nattie. Congrats!!
Wow! You are so kind! Thank you. The desks are from the eStore, under the mini theme Wicked Wizard, and are called Wicked Wizard Spell Station. I used them as I loved the candles used on the desks which I’m think they would have had on their desks.
Wonderful! So creative~
Thank you so much.
FANTASTIC!!!!!! This is my all time favorite!! The time it took to put together and all the little details!! You deserve your own show case! Congratulations and Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much and Merry Christmas to you, too.
This is very nice, Nattie! Great job!
