A Christmas Carol is a classic holiday tale that tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a curmudgeonly old man who is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Each ghost shows Scrooge a different aspect of his life, revealing to him the consequences of his selfishness and greed. Scrooge is changed by his encounters with the spirits and wakes up on Christmas morning a changed man, filled with gratitude and a newfound appreciation for the people in his life.
