When you think of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is probably the first character that comes to mind. He has appeared in various versions of the story, and always leaves a lasting impression. Check out some of DYR’s favorite Scrooges.

What winter holiday season would be complete without the mention of the Charles Dickens masterpiece, “A Christmas Carol”? None! For most of us at least.

Every winter we are reminded to put forth good will towards all men via the learning experiences of one particular cold-hearted man, Ebenezer Scrooge. Through him and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future we are reminded to learn from our mistakes and that true change is possible when it comes from the heart.
