A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol is a Christmas novella written by Charles Dickens in 1843.
== Background ==
It tells the tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge, a miser who hates Christmas, and mistreats his personal clerk Bob Cratchit. His stinginess is noticed by all the people in London, making him one of the most hated men in the town. At night on Christmas Eve, the ghost of Jacob Marley tells him three other ghosts will visit him. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come show him the consequences of his greed, and he decides to make amends.
The story has been adapted many times in live-action movies and animated TV specials. It's also been performed onstage at local theaters, high schools, and colleges. It's even been spoofed in prime time sitcoms and daytime soap operas. Most recently, a new take on the story premiered on Netflix on 2 December 2022.
