“Merry Christmas, Uncle!” cried a cheerful voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew, Fred.
“Bah humbug!” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas? Why are you merry? You’re poor.”
“Well,” answered the nephew happily, “why are you miserable? You’re rich.”
Ebenezer Scrooge is a cold-hearted man who only cares about money and he hates Christmas. But one Christmas Eve, Scrooge gets a chance to change his life with visits from three mysterious ghosts! Will he learn the true meaning of Christmas?
