After is horrifying dream with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Scrooge wakes up in his bed, but in a new mood. When he gets up, he starts to sense a change in himself. He rejoices, celebrating the Spirits in what they had done for him. When he gets outside, he starts greeting Merry Christmas to everyone around him, and they are surprised that a man like Scrooge could change in a single night. Scrooge starts his generousness. He orders a large turkey for Bob Cratchit's family, and he gives the courier a good amount of money in return. Also, he comes by Fred's house and participates in their Christmas party and games. Since Scrooge changed his ways, as well as exceeded the Spirit's expectations. Therefore, Tiny Tim didn't die, and Scrooge was known now as a kind man who shared everything he had to the world. He didn't die lonely, but surrounded by friends.
The ending of A Christmas Carol is a storybook ending. Everything ends with a happily ever after tone. I do agree with the message the book gives us: Keep the Spirit of Christmas with you year round. Also, the book has a big life lesson we could all take from it. This lesson is that life isn't about power and money, but it is about relationships and time well spent. Scrooge realized his mistake and switched to what life is supposed to be, instead of the businessman's belief on what life is. We also learned that it takes Regret, Shame, and Fear to change someone permanently, and Scrooge really needed that change, and he got it. I feel happy for Scrooge, and his newfound friends, they are happy for him, and Scrooge himself is now truly happy, because he has now discovered what life is about, and now he has people who care about him deeply.
