One cold Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge is revealed to be a Humbug who is unkind to his employee, the kindly and affable Bob Cratchit, who has a large family at home including the seminal Tiny Tim, uncharitable to those with social cause, and crotchety to his only living family member, his nephew who invites him to spend Christmas with him. At home, he is visited by the ghost of his old business partner Jacob Marley – and then by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. The ghosts' journey through time teaches Scrooge the error of his ways. When he wakes up on Christmas Day he is full of excitement and buys a turkey as big as the lad procuring it for him to be delivered to the Cratchit family before spending the day with his nephew, full of the joys of Christmas. He vows to change his ways and becomes, "as good as his word."
