Jacob Marley counts too
Jacob Marley counts too
Whenever I think of a Christmas Carol I cannot get “we’re Marley and Marley” from the muppets out of my head. It’s a banger!
9Had a Christmas quiz at my work a couple of years ago, and the fact that I was "wrong" for saying there were four ghosts has lived rent free in my head every Christmas since.

Your spoiler just made me think that they'd be perfect as an interpretation of Shran and Soval. Presumably sometime post formation of the Federation.

The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the spirit of the season. Whether that's giving spirit, historical spirit, or personal spirit. It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based and if you can't find it within yourself to stand up and show the spirit of the season, then you don't deserve to wear that Santa hat.

I saw him in A Christmas Carol in the city (I think on Broadway) years and years ago. I was the only kid on the field trip who was like "omg it's Captain Picard!"
