Ebenezer Scrooge is a wealthy, miserly curmudgeon who lives alone, keeps to himself, and spends his days counting his money. He has no friends or family, hates Christmas, and refuses to donate money to the needy. Scrooge was not always so crotchety, however. As a young man, he had friends, family, and a fiance. Scrooge gets a chance to change his ways when the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come visit him and take him through a series of visions.
