At night, the ghost of Jacob Marley, his business partner, the ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-to-come came to him and warned him that if he wouldn\u2019t change his attitude to others, he would face loneliness forever.

This book used the exciting adventures that Scrooge experienced to bring out the spirit of Christmas, which is \u2018It\u2019s never too late to change and to love and share\u2019.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>This story tells me that if you are mean to others and only love money, you\u2019ll never get love or friendship from others.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ebenezer Scrooge was the meanest money lover that everybody was afraid of.
