Charles Dickens 
Christmas Carol Complete Text 

On a cold, blustery Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge toils in his countinghouse, unable to give a kind word to a single soul. He cares nothing for the spirit of giving, shouting Bah! and Humbug! at the very mention of the holiday. But four ghostly visitors come to show him a different way, opening Scrooges heart to kindness and charity, fraternity and goodwilla lesson he takes to Christmas and beyond.
