The wealthy Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge is a stingy and mean old man, who is visited by the spirit of his friend and business partner, Mr. Marley, and by three ghosts that show him his past, present, and future Christmases. While being transported throughout time, Scrooge's heart began to soften, as is he is shown the world around him, and the life he’s lived from a different perspective. Scrooge returns to the real world on Christmas and, with his new outlook on life, he becomes a kind and giving man, who is quick to be a help to others.
