The appearance of Marley’s face in his door knocker

Marley’s voice whispering to him as he walked home from his solitary meal.

A likeness of Marley’s face that appeared in the tower clock as it chimed the hour.

The ghost took Scrooge to a childhood Christmas Eve when:

His younger sister came to school to take him home for good and in time for Christmas.

He sat alone in an empty school room with only a cruel schoolmaster for companionship.

A joyous Christmas party with good food and dancing took place

His employees could work comfortably even on the coldest winter days.

Wrestling it toward an open window and pushing it into the night.

Laughing at the things it had shown him ad calling the Spirit’s warnings humbug.

The Ghost of Christmas Present:

Had a joyful air, wore a dap-green robe, and held a glowing torch shaped like Plenty's horn

Entered Scrooge's bed chamber and lifted him from his bed.

Carried a little crutch, and his limbs were supported by an iron frame.

The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come could not show Scrooge:

Anyone who felt sorry for the dead man

The face of the corpse under the sheet

The identity of the person he saw sitting in his place of business

After his ordeal with the Spirits, Scrooge vowed to:

Honor Christmas all year, live in the Past, Present and the Future, and use the lessons the Spirits taught

Forget his past, celebrate Christmas for the rest of his life, and be forever grateful for the Spirits

Honor his old friend Jacob Marley each Christmas and make up for the misdeeds that both of them had forged.

Scrooge was delighted to find that his time with the Spirits had:

Not caused him to miss Christmas Day

Brought him back to the Christmas Eve in his office before the appearance of Marley's Ghost

Changed the way people thought of him as well as his own opinions of others.

Scrooge's encounter with the Spirits left him:

So happy and giddy that he didn't know what to do
