Scrooge is the meanest old man you're likely to meet, and his story opens on a winter's day as cold as his heart. But scrooge is in for a shock. In this retelling of the classic tale by Charles Dickens, three Christmas spirits take scrooge on a ghostly journey through life. Coming face to face with his past and present is bad enough, but what of his terrifying future?
