Summary

A Christmas Carol is a Christmas book. The main character is Ebenezer Scrooge, who is a selfish old man who doesn't like Christmas. He had a business, and there, a partner named Jacob Marley, who had died 7 years ago. During three visits of the Christmas spirits from the past, present and future, he became to be a kinder, gentler man. At the end, he spend the Christmas with all the people he could invite.

My opinion

I think the main message of A Christmas Carol, is that even in the most selfish or unkind people, we can make them change for better, and they aren't evil at all.
