__11__ But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.

And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. ___13___ He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. ___14___
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. __15___ And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely.
Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning-- Christmas Day!

We all think that Christmas is popular around the world.It is one of the most beautiful holidays of all time.
He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him.
Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus.
