A Magical Christmas Story For All The Family
Ebenezer Scrooge has lost his only friend, his business partner Jacob Marley. Seven years have passed since Marley's Christmas death and Scrooge has not changed a bit. He still refuses to give to the poor, he still only grudgingly gives his employee Bob Cratchit Christmas day off, and he still refuses his nephew's offer of Christmas dinner. He dismisses the whole holiday as a "Humbug."
But, on this particular Christmas Eve, his dreary home will be visited by four ghosts and it begins a chain of events that will take Scrooge on a life-changing journey through his past, present and future.
