Dickens divides the book into five chapters, which he labels “staves”, that is, song stanzas or verses, in keeping with the title of the book.<\/p>\n

The tale begins on a “cold, bleak, biting”\u00a0Christmas Eve\u00a0exactly seven years after the death of\u00a0Scrooge’s\u00a0business partner\u00a0Jacob Marley. Scrooge, an old\u00a0miser, is established within the first stave as “a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner!” He hates Christmas, calling it “humbug”; he refuses his nephew Fred’s Christmas dinner invitation, and rudely turns away two gentlemen who seek a donation from him to provide a Christmas dinner for the poor. His only “Christmas gift” is allowing his overworked, underpaid clerk\u00a0Bob Cratchit\u00a0Christmas Day off with pay \u2013 which he does only to keep with social custom, Scrooge considering it “a poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every 25th of December!”<\/p>\n

At home that night, Scrooge is visited by Marley’s ghost, who is forever cursed to wander the earth dragging a network of heavy chains, forged during a lifetime of greed and selfishness. Dickens describes the apparition thus: “Marley’s face\u00a0… had a dismal light about it, like a bad lobster in a dark cellar.” Marley has a bandage under his chin, tied at the top of his head; “…\u00a0how much greater was his horror, when the phantom taking off the bandage round its head, as if it were too warm to wear indoors, its lower jaw dropped down upon its breast!”<\/p>\n

\"\u0420\u043e\u0436\u0434\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0430\u044f<\/a><\/p>\n

Marley tells Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits that night, and that he must listen to them or be cursed to carry chains of his own. As Marley departs, Scrooge witnesses other restless spirits who now wish they could help their fellow man, but are powerless to do so. Scrooge is then visited by the three spirits Marley spoke of \u2013 each visit detailed in a separate stave \u2013 who accompany him on visits to various Christmas scenes.<\/p>\n

The first of the spirits, the\u00a0Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to Christmas scenes of Scrooge’s boyhood and youth, which stir the old miser’s gentle and tender side by reminding him of a time when he was kinder and more innocent. These scenes portray Scrooge’s lonely childhood, his relationship with his beloved sister Fan, and a Christmas party hosted by his first employer,\u00a0Mr. Fezziwig, who treated Scrooge like a son. They also portray Scrooge’s neglected fianc\u00e9e, Belle, who ends their relationship after she realizes that Scrooge will never love her as much as he loves money, and a visit later in time to the then-married Belle’s large and happy family on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

The second spirit, the\u00a0Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to several different scenes \u2013 a joy-filled market of people buying the makings of\u00a0Christmas dinner, celebrations of Christmas in a\u00a0miner’s\u00a0cottage\u00a0and in a\u00a0lighthouse. Scrooge and the spirit also visit Fred’s Christmas party, where Fred speaks of his uncle with pity. A major part of this stave is taken up with Bob Cratchit’s family feast, and introduces his youngest son,\u00a0Tiny Tim, who is full of simple happiness despite being seriously ill. The spirit informs Scrooge that Tiny Tim will soon die unless the course of events changes. Before disappearing, the spirit shows Scrooge two hideous, emaciated children named Ignorance and Want; he tells Scrooge to beware the former above all, and replies to Scrooge’s concern for their welfare by repeating Scrooge’s own words: “Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?”<\/p>\n

The third spirit, the\u00a0Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, shows Scrooge Christmas Day one year later. Tiny Tim has died because Cratchit could not afford to provide the boy with proper care on his meager salary. The spirit then shows Scrooge scenes involving the death of a “wretched man”. The man’s funeral will only be attended by local businessmen if lunch is provided. His\u00a0charwoman, his laundress, and the local\u00a0undertaker\u00a0steal his bedroom fixtures while his corpse still lays in the bed, and sell them to a\u00a0fence. The spirit then shows Scrooge the man’s neglected grave: the tombstone bears Scrooge’s name. Sobbing, Scrooge pledges that he will change his ways in hopes that he may “sponge the writing from this stone”.<\/p>\n

\"\u0420\u043e\u0436\u0434\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0430\u044f<\/a><\/p>\n

Scrooge awakens on Christmas morning with joy and love in his heart. He spends the day with Fred’s family, and anonymously sends a prize turkey\u00a0to the Cratchit home for Christmas dinner. The following day, he gives Cratchit a raise, and becomes like “a second father” to Tiny Tim. A changed man, Scrooge now treats everyone with kindness, generosity, and compassion; he now embodies the spirit of Christmas. The story closes with the narrator repeating Tiny Tim’s famous words: “God bless us, everyone!”<\/p>\n
