After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. The book is divided into five chapters, which Dickens titled "staves".

Scrooge, an ageing miser, dislikes Christmas and refuses a dinner invitation from his nephew Fred--the son of Fan, Scrooge''s dead sister. He turns away two men who seek a donation from him to provide food and heating for the poor and only grudgingly allows his overworked, underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit, Christmas Day off with pay to conform to the social custom.

That night Scrooge is visited at home by Marley''s ghost, who wanders the Earth entwined by heavy chains and money boxes forged during a lifetime of greed and selfishness. Marley tells Scrooge that he has a single chance to avoid the same fate: he will be visited by three spirits and must listen or be cursed to carry much heavier chains of his own. Stave 2The first spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to Christmas scenes of Scrooge''s boyhood, reminding him of a time when he was more innocent.

The scenes reveal Scrooge''s lonely childhood at boarding school, his relationship with his beloved sister Fan, and a Christmas party hosted by his first employer, Mr Fezziwig, who treated him like a son. Finally, they visit a now-married Belle with her large, happy family on the Christmas Eve that Marley died. Scrooge, upset by hearing Belle''s description of the man that he has become, demands that the ghost remove him from the house.

Stave 3 The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to a joyous market with people buying the makings of Christmas dinner and to celebrations of Christmas in a miner''s cottage and in a lighthouse.

Scrooge and the ghost also visit Fred''s Christmas party. A major part of this stave is taken up with Bob Cratchit''s family feast and introduces his youngest son, Tiny Tim, a happy boy who is seriously ill.

The spirit informs Scrooge that Tiny Tim will die unless the course of events changes.
