Seller's description

May include: A black t-shirt featuring a cartoon character with a candle flame on their head, holding a sprig of holly and a small gold kettle. A speech bubble contains the text: Let's revisit your choices. Gently. The character wears a white tunic.

Let's revisit your choices. Gently. A chibi storybook-watercolor Ghost of Christmas Past tee for English teachers, librarians, book clubs and bookworms.

A funny, cute Ghost of Christmas Past gift for an English teacher, librarian, book club member or anyone who loves Christmas ghost stories.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
In Stave Two of Dickens's 1843 A Christmas Carol, the first spirit looks like a child and an old man at once, holds fresh holly, wears a tunic trimmed with summer flowers and has a bright jet of light on its head. It carries a candle-snuffer cap to dim the glow, and it takes the story's hero back through his own earlier Christmases.

- Big, bold speech-bubble joke, with the design printed up to 12 inches wide so it reads across the room
- Original chibi watercolor art by Honeyman Tees, drawn from the 1843 book: white hair, a flower-trimmed tunic, holly and a candle-snuffer cap
- Soft, comfy tee, made to order and printed to last; a bookish Christmas gift
