What Is The Story?

Published in 1843, Charles Dickens' morality tale helped to cement the true meaning of Christmas as a time for kindness and charity to our fellow man. 

Following the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a penny-pinching business owner who sees no reason to grant his employees even just half a day off for Christmas, A Christmas Carol offers a rude awakening to the man. As he settles down to sleep on Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner who begs him to change his ways or end up tortured for eternity.

Ignoring his pleas, Scrooge dismisses him, only to be visited by three more spirits, Christmas Past, Present, and Future, who offer him a view of his actions, and how they affect those around him. Will Scrooge shape up and accept his responsibilities? Or will he end up in the chains like his ex-partner? Watch on to find out!
