Scrooge was described as a 'miserly man' which means that he is tight with his money and that he will never share his money. Scrooge is a man that makes the Cratchit family work in the cold while Scrooge sits and counts his money. Two portley gentlemen approach his door asking to donate to the poor and he refuses the two men. At midnight Scrooge is vistited by Jacob Marley in a ghost figure telling him when every ghost is going to appear and how they are going to explain everything. Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge the Cratchit family and how they are all saddened as Tiny Tim is dying so they can't pay for him to visit a hospital. Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge his childhood and how he had been failing apprenticeships and engangement. The final ghost is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come who terrifies Scrooge with visions of his death. Scrooge awakes on Christmas Day and is delighted to find he has the chance to repent of his miserly ways. He buys a turkey for the Cratchits and attends his nephew's party. Scrooge becomes like a second father to Tiny Tim and gains a reputation for knowing how to celebrate Christmas.
