description: Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old skinflint. He hates everyone, especially children. But at Christmas time three ghosts come to visit him, scare him into mending his ways, and he finds, as he celebrates with Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and their family, that geniality brings its own reward.
