"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, adapted by Dr. Stephen Krensky, tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who despises Christmas and all things joyful. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the consequences of his selfish ways. Scrooge is then visited by three spirits—the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future—who guide him through reflections on his life. Through these encounters, Scrooge learns the importance of compassion, generosity, and the true spirit of Christmas, leading to his transformation into a kinder, more loving person.
