Bah! Humbug! Scrooge hates Christmas and despises any sentimentality that leads to goodwill and charity, even toward his own family. It takes ghosts with a dire prophecy to convince him that mankind should be everyone’s business.
Eventually, Tiny Tim utters the legendary anthem of the best of all holidays: “God bless us, every one!”
Based on the novel by Charles Dickens
