Summary:
Scrooge was awakened by a light shining through the door, and a loud voice. Scrooge enters and meets the Ghost of Christmas Present. The ghost intrduced himself and told Scrooge to hold onto his robe. The ghost went throught the town with him showing how all the people were celebrating Christmas. Some children were playing in the snow while other people were working in the bakery on Christmas. Then the ghost brought Scrooge to Bob Cratchit's house and showed them on Christmas evening. Since, the Crachits are poor and have little food and money they were only able to get goose instead of a turkey. During, Bob Crachit's wife's toast she complained about Scrooge. After, their toast/pray, Tiny Tim exclaimed, "God Bless us Everyone!" (Page 40)
The next stop Scrooge and the ghost made was at Scrooge's nephew's house. Scrooge's nephew, Fred was having a Christmas party and they were playing a game. "It was a Game called Yes and No..." Page 47. Fred was pretending to be Scrooge and when one of the guests guessed right they started t talk about Scrooge in a rude way. After that stop, Scrooge found himself in the clock room with the ghost. Scrooge said on page 49, "but I see something strange, and not belonging to yourslef, protroding from you skirts. It is a foot or a claw!" The Ghost of Christmas Present showed Scrooge that it was two children a boy and a girl. The boy was Ignorance and the girl was Want. Then the Ghost of Christmas Present disapppeared and the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come appeared as the shadow of Scrooge.
