The first spirit to visit him was the Ghost of Christmas Past who showed to Scrooge some of the past Christmases that Scrooge was a better man in the past. “Oh I loved her,” said Scrooge with a smile on his face when he saw Fann, his loving little sister. There was also the Ghost of Christmas Present. With the help of both of them, Scrooge was beginning to become a greater man when he saw how awfully Mr. Bob Cratchit was struggling.
