ěA Christmas Carolî is the classic tale of the money-loving Ebenezer Scrooge and the evening that changed his life.
Throughout the tale, Scrooge is visited by the spirits of Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas yet to come.
The spirits take Scrooge on a journey through his past loves, friends and family, as well as show him the impact his current lifestyle is having on employee Bob Cratchet and his family as well as his only surviving relative, his nephew Fred. Scrooge is also given a glimpse of where his life will lead him if he chooses to continue to be a ěsqueezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!î
