The Miser's Midnight Awakening
On a frigid Christmas Eve in Victorian London, Ebenezer Scrooge sits counting coins in his freezing office. "Bah, humbug!" he snarls when his clerk Bob Cratchit timidly requests Christmas Day off. This isn't just any miser-Scrooge has elevated penny-pinching to an art form. He rejects his nephew Fred's dinner invitation, dismisses charity collectors with cutting remarks about prisons and workhouses, and returns to his gloomy mansion alone. What makes this tale endure nearly two centuries later? Perhaps because we all recognize something of ourselves in Scrooge-the temptation to close our hearts, to choose self-interest over compassion. His journey speaks to our deepest hopes about human nature: that no one is beyond redemption. That night, as Scrooge prepares for bed, something extraordinary happens. His former business partner Jacob Marley appears-dead seven years but very much present, wrapped in the heavy chains he forged in life through greed and indifference. "You will be haunted by Three Spirits," Marley warns, offering Scrooge his only chance to avoid a similar fate.
