Write a ghost story set during the holiday season, where the ghost turns out to be a positive force.

The ghost trope is a classic in horror literature, yet it doesn’t always have to represent something negative. For this prompt, craft a unique Christmas ghost story where the ghost guides, aids, or delivers an important message, somewhat similar to Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” yet with your unique spin. The theme might involve redemption, forgiveness, or embracing the Christmas spirit. The challenge lies in creating suspense and fear, yet resolving the story with positivity and warmth.
