Book excerpt: Celebrate the spirit of the holidays in this heart-warming adaptation of Charles Dickens's classic ghost story, starring Scrooge McDuck and Donald Duck! Scrooge McDuck is a grumpy old business owner with a heart of stone, who shows no regard for his fellow man. Throughout the day, Scrooge encounters a hard-working employee who wishes to spend the holidays with his family, a charity collecting for those down on their luck, and his nephew, Donald Duck, who simply wishes his uncle a merry Christmas. But the mere utter of the word "Christmas" causes Scrooge to shudder in disdain. Then, on the eve of Christmas, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his business partner, Rock Marley, who shows what a life of greed and selfishness can lead to and shares a caution that he will be visited by three spirits: the spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. The spirits take Scrooge on a journey of reflection, truth, and redemption. Share in the wisdom and inspiration of Scrooge as he learns to make amends and open his heart on Christmas night--and all nights to come!
