He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect 6 ghosts to visit him.
That 7,the ghosts visit Scrooge. First,the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds him 8 his happy days as a child. Then the second ghost,the Ghost of Christmas Present,takes him to see 9 others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy,even poor people. The last one,the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come,takes him to the 10 . Scrooge sees that he is dead,but nobody cares. He is so 11 that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning—— Christmas Day!
Scrooge decides to change his life and 12 to be a kind person. He 13 celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats 14 with kindness and warmth,spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true 15of Christmas!
