Christmas Deer: "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens is set in London during the early 1800s. It follows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy but miserly businessman who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. The ghost warns Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits who will show him the error of his ways and the importance of generosity and kindness, particularly during the holiday season.
