Description
On Christmas Eve
in 19th-century London, Ebenezer Scrooge is a surly money-lender who is very selfish with his money and objects to the merriment of Christmas. He
refuses to give money to a panhandler
outside his office. His loyal employee Bob Cratchit (Mickey Mouse) requests to have
half of Christmas Day off,
to which Scrooge reluctantly accepts, but says Cratchit would be docked half a day's pay.
He declines his nephew Fred (Donald Duck)'s
invitation to Christmas dinner.
At one o'clock, Scrooge is visited by the
Ghost of Christmas Past
who takes him back in time to his early adult life. A distraught Scrooge asks the Ghost to return him to the present, and the Ghost grants his request but reminds him that he created this past himself. Scrooge is left in his bed lamenting his past actions. At two o'clock, Scrooge meets the gigantic, merry
Ghost of Christmas Present
The Ghost takes Scrooge to an old, decrepit home which is revealed to be Bob Cratchit's house. Scrooge is shocked to see that their Christmas dinner for their family of five consists of barely enough food to feed one person but sees that
Cratchit's family
is surprisingly content with their small dinner.
