"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens follows the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who despises Christmas and all forms of generosity. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his ways. Scrooge is then visited by three spirits—Past, Present, and Future—who show him the impact of his actions on others and the consequences of a life lived without compassion. Through these supernatural experiences, Scrooge learns the true meaning of Christmas, leading to his redemption and newfound spirit of generosity and kindness.
