One Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his ways before it's too late. Scrooge is then visited by three spirits—Past, Present, and Future—who reveal to him the impact of his choices. Through these encounters, Scrooge discovers the true meaning of compassion and redemption, ultimately embracing the spirit of Christmas. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
