Episode 2: A Multitude of Christmases

Wed, 04 Dec 2024 13:38:24 -0800

As the clock strikes midnight, Scrooge is awakened by the Ghost of Christmas Past, a strange and ethereal figure. The spirit takes Scrooge on a journey through scenes from his earlier life; he revisits his lonely childhood, his time as an apprentice under the kind and generous Mr. Fezziwig, and his failed engagement to the lovely Belle. These memories stir feelings of regret and reflection in Scrooge...


As the bell tolls one, Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present, a jolly and majestic presence. The ghost takes Scrooge on a journey to observe how others, including the Cratchit family and Scrooge’s nephew, Fred, celebrate Christmas Day. Their final visit is to a freezing child, vulnerable to the winter snow. As the Ghost of Christmas Present bids Scrooge farewell, a phantom arrives…the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
