A Christmas Carol is a story of a bitter old miser Ebenezer Scrooge and how he was transformed by supernatural visits from his diseased business partner, Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. Described as a penny clutching old sinner who hates Christmas calling it “Humbug”, Ebenezer Scrooge turns down his nephew Fred's Christmas dinner invitation, and impolitely turns away two gentlemen seeking a donation from him to help provide Christmas dinner for the poor. Allowing his overworked and underpaid clerk Bob Cratch it Christmas Day off with pay was about all the Christmas gift there was from Ebenezer Scrooge. Yet the tight fisted miser called it, “a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December!"
