Ebenezer Scrooge, the Christmas Spirits, and the Fence.
Every Christmas season, classic stories return to the spotlight — and few are more iconic than A Christmas Carol. Ebenezer Scrooge, three ghosts, a chilly London night, and one unforgettable transformation. But when we created a lighthearted holiday image featuring Scrooge standing behind a sturdy fence, holding the key to a lock while the Christmas Spirits hover on the other side, we couldn’t resist asking the question:
What if Scrooge had installed a fence before the spirits showed up?
Of course, a fence won’t keep out supernatural visitors… but it can help protect your home from the very real “uninvited guests” that show up during the holiday season. Package thieves, late-night wanderers, wildlife, or just curious passersby — the holidays can bring all kinds of unexpected visitors. A strong, professionally installed fence creates a safer, more secure property while giving you peace of mind during the busiest time of the year.
At Loudon County Fence, we build more than just good fences — we build peace of mind. Our team installs wood privacy fences, vinyl fencing, ornamental aluminum, chain-link systems, agricultural fencing, and fully automated gates and access-control solutions for homeowners and businesses across East Tennessee. With more than 50 years of combined experience and an Unlimited License that sets us apart from most competitors, we deliver durable, reliable fencing designed specifically for the terrain and weather conditions of our region.
The Scrooge-themed holiday image is meant to be fun, but it highlights a real point: security matters, especially this time of year. Holiday deliveries pile up. Families travel. Nights get longer. And protecting your property becomes even more important. A new fence adds safety, privacy, curb appeal, and long-term value—no ghosts required.
We proudly serve Knoxville, Farragut, Hardin Valley, Powell, Halls, Bearden, Oak Ridge, Clinton, Lenoir City, Loudon, Tellico Village, Maryville, Alcoa, Kingston, Rockwood, and the full surrounding East Tennessee area. No matter where you live, we deliver high-quality craftsmanship built to last through every season.
So this holiday season, take a page out of Scrooge’s book — not the “bah humbug” part, but the realization that protecting your home and improving your surroundings is always a smart investment. And while a fence can’t stop the Ghost of Christmas Future, it can help keep your property secure, your pets safe, and your peace of mind intact.
