Scrooge is visited by 3 Christmas Ghosts that show him, his past, present & future (if no change is made) Christmas.

Lovely story of the meaning of Christmas, where we are a little bit as Scrooge and this remember us to be kinder.

This is the first time I have ever read A Christmas Carol after seeing it so many times on TV. I was absolutely not disappointed and it was a very good Christmassy read. It was easy to read and not tedious, like I have heard Dicken's work can be. This could quite easily become a yearly Christmas read for me.
