"A Christmas Carol" by Keith West is a retelling of Charles Dickens' classic story about Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who despises Christmas. One fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his ways. Throughout the night, Scrooge encounters three spirits—Past, Present, and Future—who reveal the impact of his life choices on himself and others. As he witnesses the consequences of his greed and isolation, Scrooge transforms into a kinder, more generous person, embracing the spirit of Christmas and the joy of human connection.
