Our Mission

A Christmas Carol

On Christmas Eve, the miserly and curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge, who despises Christmas and treats everyone with contempt, including his kind-hearted clerk Bob Cratchit and his jovial nephew Fred, is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley, bound by heavy chains forged from his own greed in life, warns Scrooge that he will be haunted by three spirits who will offer him a chance at redemption from a similar, or worse, fate. Throughout the night, Scrooge is visited first by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who shows him scenes from his lonely childhood, his apprenticeship under the kind Fezziwig, and his painful break-up with his fiancée Belle, all revealing how he came to prioritize money over love. Next, the Ghost of Christmas Present takes him to witness the modest but joyful Christmas celebrations of Bob Cratchit's family, where he sees the ailing Tiny Tim, and his nephew Fred's warm gathering, making him realize the joy he has missed. Finally, the ominous Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows him visions of a future where he is unmourned, his possessions are plundered, and Tiny Tim has died, all culminating in the chilling revelation of his own neglected tombstone. Terrified and repentant, Scrooge awakens on Christmas morning a changed man, filled with renewed spirit, generosity, and joy, immediately making amends with Fred, showering the Cratchits with gifts and a raise, and embracing the true meaning of Christmas.
