Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol

Ebenezer Scrooge wants nothing to do with Christmas. The old, mean and greedy man hates anything and everything that is related to Christmas: the food, the people, the singing and especially the charity.

Scrooge is told that during the night three ghosts will come to visit him and that he will be forced to change his selfish ways.
