Two burly gentlemen ask for an alms him , nevertheless, Scrooge reacts in a disagreeable way that contrasts with the amiability of his nephew who answered them in a happy way. On the same night, soon after the gentleman Scrooge returns to his dark house, it receives a visit of the ghost of his deceased partner Jacob Marley. That explained his punishment to him for having had a life full of selfishness and greed: his spirit had been doomed to drag chains. Marley informed Scrooge that would receive the visit of three spirits. When Marley's ghost disappears, the gentleman Scrooge falls down in a deep dream. Ebenezer woke moments up before the arrival of the Ghost of the Past Christmas, a ghost with hair of fire that accompanied Scrooge in a walk on the past, on the Christmas before his selfishness and greed. In this walk, Scrooge was invisible for the rest but it could see what happened. His childhood, his apprentice's stage re-lived next to the merchant Fezziwig and his commitment with a woman until she I leave it since his greed for the money was eclipsing his love towards her. Scrooge, moved and infuriated, extinguishes the flame of the head of the spirit to come back home. The Ghost of the Present Christmas led Scrooge to giving a walk across London to teach him since it was going to be the Christmas this year. Scrooge observed the small party of Bob Cratchit's family (his employee) in his humble house. In there he discovered Tim, the invalid son of the family, who was a child full of kindness, fact who thrilled Scrooge. The spirit at the time takes Scrooge to house of his nephews who were celebrating a holiday of very happy Christmas, in which they remain until it ends. When the day is finishing, the spirit shows to Scrooge two starving children and living in the poverty under the only refuge of his coat. But then this spirit disappears when a black and hooded figure approaches them, moment in which the dream finishes. The Ghost of the Future Christmas approaches Scrooge to accompany he on the Christmas of the following year in them Tim had died since his family did not have money to support it with what Scrooge was paying them. Later come to a few gentlemen speaking on the death of a man that they do not say the name. Two vagabonds start discussing for the properties of the deceased and the spirit led Ebenezer to seeing the tomb of the man who isn't other one that the own Scrooge. The protagonist looks scared at the name that exists in the tablet.

He sends a turkey to the house of his employee and comes to eat with his nephew, gives gifts to the neediest, even it managed to treat Tim as his own son.

The book was written and published during the Victorian epoch, a time in which a great nostalgic existed for the Christmas time-honoured customs joined the introduction of new customs as the Christmas trees or the greeting cards. Dickens's principal inspirations to write the novel seem to be the sad and humiliating experiences of his infancy, his sharm for the poor, and several Christmas statements and fairy-tales.
