Ebenezer Scrooge was a rich and selfish man. His whole life was geared toward making a profit and nothing else. He became a miserable old man. Even after the death of his business partner, Jacob Marley, he didn't even bother to take his name off of the sign.
Seven Christmas Eves after Marley's death, Scrooge is visited by Marley's ghost along with three spirits who show him his past, his present, and his horrible future, in an attempt to make him change his horrible ways.
