"Why show me this, if I am past all hope!"

It's Christmas Eve and the snowy streets are full of good cheer. But this magic is "Bah! Humbug!" to Ebenezer Scrooge. He's a miserable old skinflint. Nobody loves him – and he cares not one jot.

That night, Marley's Ghost appears in Scrooge's mean home. He says Scrooge must go with him on a strange journey haunted by three Ghosts … of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come.

Can the spirits awaken joy in Scrooge's frozen heart?
