A Christmas Carol is about an old and bitter miser, Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge has devoted his life to the becoming rich, but undergoes a profound change over the course of a Christmas Eve night. He is visited by three spirits over three nights, and each of them has a lesson to pass onto him. After meeting the three ghosts, Scrooge changes his life and reverts to the generous, kindhearted soul he was in his youth.
