Val and her grandfather are taking part in the Dickens of a Holiday festival. Val is hosting a private tea party serving the festival's costumed volunteers, who range from Dickens divas like Madame Defarge and Miss Havisham to Ebenezer Scrooge and old St. Nick himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But one costumed reveler may have gotten the holidays mixed up.
