Miserly Ebenezer Scrooge hated the humbug of Christmas...until one Christmas Eve, three ghosts take him on journeys through the past, present, and future. As Scrooge enters the lives of the lovable TinyTim, Bob Cratchit, and the Fizziwigs, he comes to know the meaning of kindness, charity, and goodwill. Dickens' hymn to the spirit of Christmas is one to be cherished, as Scrooge himself realizes, throughout "all the year."
