can change the entire <span style="direction:ltr">course of a person’s life. This ghost story follows miser Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited by four spirits <span style="direction:ltr">on a Christmas Eve in Victorian London. First Scrooge is visited by
the ghost of his old partner, Jacob <span style="direction:ltr">Marley, and then visited by the ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. As Scrooge travels with <span style="direction:ltr">each ghost, viewing both his life and what may come, we hope
that he can learn what the true spirit of <span style="direction:ltr">Christmas is all about… but is it too late? <br>
