Features: Laugh at the Miser: Dickens' beloved work, translated as A Christmas Carol. Some of its plots have become part of Christmas customs, and the protagonist Scrooge's name is included in dictionaries as the synonym for "miser." Scrooge is rich but never happy; he despises Christmas because he cannot make money on this day. On Christmas Eve, the ghost of his deceased business partner, another miser, and three spirits visit him one after another, helping him understand the meaning of life. By Christmas morning, his mood is as bright as sunshine.
