| The famous Dickens story of the cold-hearted, stingy, worldly-minded businessman Ebenezer Scrooge, a penny-pinching miser who cares nothing for the people around him, only for the money that can be made through exploitation and intimidation. He hates Christmas which he views as 'a time for finding yourself a year older, and not an hour richer'. |
| On one cold, foggy Christmas Eve he is visited by the The Spirit of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner, and three Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. He is shown the happier days of his youth, the flaws in his present conduct, and the foreboding vision of his foretold end. He is reminded of the true meaning, not only of Christmas, but of Life itself. |
