Evan, the Supper Sleuths formally thank you for gracing us with your esteemed presence. First of all, the upcoming competition at the Santa’s Apprentice program in London’s ritzy Knightsbridge will be covered by every periodical around the globe. So, make sure you run the show with your best leadership skills, because you’re representing Santa’s good name all over. Better yet, make the others there do all of the work! You’re tired of losing money while you’re forced to idly wait for Santa’s return.

By the way, below is your invitation, in case you need a reminder. You’re so busy in the fourth quarter of every year, and you absolutely must see to it that you manage those back at the office well even while at the party!

Full Name: Evan Charles Scrunge

Favorite Animal: “A mosquito, they’re the world’s deadliest animal and take care of natural selection quite openly.”

Favorite Vacation Destination: “Ba Humbug! Who has time for a vacay!”

Favorite Color: “Green, that’s the only color that matters in business.”

Favorite Food: “Porridge, it suits.”

Favorite Song: Dave Ramsey’s podcast. Who has time for music! (Although if I had to listen it would be “Cheap Thrills” by Sia.)

Evan, you are a wealthy and shrewd businessman. Though you absolutely hate to miss one of your 18-hour workdays to come here for this Christmas dinner, you console yourself with the fact that you’re going to bill it as a business trip on your taxes. You think you’re too good for the company and feel humiliated to eat such common fare. Ask if the place is regularly cleaned and who washed the silverware. Never be the first to break eye contact with anyone. Sit with chest out and shoulders back, keeping your chin up so you can look down on people. Forget people’s names over and over, because you don’t think they’re important to remember. You’ve worked your way up from rags to riches working hard, and you’re darn proud of all you’ve accomplished. You’ve got good reason to feel confident tonight, since you’re the contestant expected by Neilson ratings to win the role of the Santa’s Apprentice. But beware, you’ve burned a lot of bridges to get to where you are today, and there’s a rumor spreading that Scrunge may try to surpass apprentice for the role of head honcho himself!

Dress in a fancy suit, and even wear white gloves if you have them. Your face should be clean shaven or facial hair should be perfectly groomed. Hair should be slicked back. Though you’re filthy rich, you should bring some sort of very small, cheap, baked good to share, but then when the host tries to take it off your hands, act like it’s hard to part with it and ask if they really need it. Let them pull at it a bit and make a show of it!
