How do I gain this power?

Union contracts typically contain the Christmas Ghost Magic T&C's and ritual instructions. Talk to your local chapter to get more info.
This is where I recommend the best version of A Christmas Carol: Scrooged.
Muppet Christmas Carol is the best version
I'd call it a tie and host a double feature.
The one thing it retains from the story that no other adaptation has is a narrator.
What year did it come out or can you link the IMDb page? I'm having troubles finding it amongst all the other Christmas Carols.
- One of Bill Murray's best. I watch it every holiday and it never gets old.
It brought up the Spanish version of IMDB for me. The name of the movie in Spanish is "Los fantasmas atacan el jefe" The ghosts attack the boss. That seems like a good take on the original.
"Escruchado"
It's just had a 4k remaster too.
Will check it out, thanks.
Why not just terrorize the rich into not existing?
Bringing back the traditional practice of wassailing might be a good first step. No figgy pudding and drinks? Drag them out into the street and break their shit.
Wassailing was associated with rowdy bands of young men who would enter the homes of wealthy neighbours and demand free food and drink (in a manner similar to the modern children's Halloween practice of trick-or-treating). If the householder refused, he was usually cursed, and occasionally his house was vandalized. The example of the exchange is seen in their demand for "figgy pudding" and "good cheer", i.e., the wassail beverage, without which the wassailers in the song will not leave; "We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here".Such complaints were also common in the early days of the United States, where the practice (and its negative connotations) had taken root by the early 1800s; it led to efforts from the American merchant class to promote a more sanitized Christmas.
Yeah, Christmas is the cheerful time when you celebrate your love for thy neighbour. That of course means buying more shit from the "merchant class", not demanding that they participate in the society they robbed to grow rich.
I literally got permabanned from Reddit for saying this lol
But yes, collectively the people should do something that causes the rich to not exist anymore

I feel like this holiday season, it's important to remind people of the true meaning of christmas: ghosts terrorizing rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more
