“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.” Ebenezer Scrooge
Charles Dickens' classic tale of ghosts, Christmas and miserly redemption. Ebenezer Scrooge holds everything but money in contempt, including friendship, love and the Christmas season. On Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, who - as a result of his own miserly behaviour in life - is forced to roam the world in chains, witnessing the struggle of humanity but bereft of the power to help or change anything he sees. He warns Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits - The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come - through whom he will have the chance to redeem himself. But can Scrooge change, or is it already too late?
