Features: Ebenezer Scrooge is a grumpy, miserable, and miserly old man. When his nephew visits him on the night before Christmas and wishes him a Merry Christmas, Scrooge is not at all pleased. "Pah! A humbug!" he says. "Christmas is a humbug! The tongues of all the people who wander around saying 'Merry Christmas' should be cut out. Yes, he will!" Oh! By the way, Scrooge is a mean and miserly person. His employee Bob Cratchit can only earn 15 shillings a week and can only work in a small and cold office, where the fire is so small that it can't even warm his toes. But on that Christmas Eve, the ghost of Jacob Marley, Scrooge's long-dead business partner, visited him, followed by visits from three other ghosts that night. That night was particularly long and terrifying. By the time Christmas finally arrived, Scrooge had indeed changed into a different person.
