Merry Christmas uncle,
Hail

Shenanigans

Christmas is a hoax, man!

Sure, you don't mean it

But if I am serious

Merry Christmas! What reason can you have
you have to be merry

Since you are quite poor

And what reason do you have
to be grumpy

You're Pretty Rich!
Bah!

Shenanigans!

Dude!

Celebrate Christmas your way

Come on, come eat with us tomorrow

But I will keep my good
Christmas mood until the end.

So, Happy Easter, man!

and Happy New Year

-Good afternoon

-Scrooge and Marley.

Do I have the honor to speak to Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?

Good afternoon, gentlemen

... good afternoon ...

-I suppose you will need

-If there is no inconvenience, sir.

-Well, there is an inconvenience
- and it's not fair.

If I were to deduct half a crown

But am I obliged to pay it?

-However, you don't think that I am doing myself a disservice
by paying a day's wages for not working.

-A poor excuse for biting into one's pocket on the

What do you want from me?

-Do you not believe in me?

no, because maybe you are a piece of meat that I have not

undercooked potato.

-I wear the chain that I forged in life.

I made it link by link,
meter by meter;

I bind her to my body by my free will

and by my free will I will use it.

-But you were always a good businessman

-Business!

The human race was
my business

Why did I go through so many
crowds with my eyes closed

without ever raising them
towards the blessed star

to the dwelling of the poor?

-Hear me

.... I will, I will

I have come tonight
tonight to warn you

that you can still hope
of escaping my fate

Ebenezer

You will be visited
by three Spirits

Wait for the first one, tomorrow
when the clock strikes one

Wait for the second one the
next night at the same time

The third the following

when the last stroke of twelve o'clock

The air was full of
ghosts of the morning

their suffering clearly was,
that they had lost the power

to alleviate human pain.

Scrooge was awakened by the
chimes of a nearby clock

The room was full of light and a hand
hand opened the curtain of her bed

-Are you, sir, the Spirit whose coming I have
whose coming has been foretold to me?

I am

-Who are you, then?

-I am the Ghost of
Christmas Past.

-Past long ago?

-No. Only yours.

Why did you come
come here?

for your well-being

Stand up,
and walk with me

Gosh, when I was a kid I used to live here

Your lips tremble,

and what is that
on your cheek

nothing, nothing

of things past.

They don't realize
us

Let's see another Christmas

Do you recognize this place?

I was an apprentice here

three or four pounds perhaps

It is not that, Spirit. It is in your hand
to make us happy or unhappy,

pleasure or fatigue.

-I have very little time left.
Hurry up!

You have changed

-You are too afraid
of the world's opinion

There is nothing as
overwhelming as poverty,

So I seek wealth

I have seen your noblest aspirations
your noblest aspirations one by one

until the main passion, Profit,
has completely absorbed you.

Our contract is already old

I can set you free

-Have I ever sought
Have I ever sought that freedom?

-Not in words, no. Never.

In what form then?

-With your nature changed;
With your spirit transformed

May you be happy in the life
that you have chosen

Why do you enjoy
torturing me?

-I told you that these were
shadows of things that have been

If they are what they are,
don't blame me.

Do not torment me anymore!

-Come in!
Ebenezer Scrooge

Come in and get to know me
better, man!

-I am the Spectre of
Christmas Present

-Have you never seen anything
seen anything that looks like me?

-Spirit take me
wherever you want

if you have something to teach me,
allow me to profit from it.

-Touch my dress!

The spirit splashed a few drops of good cheer with its torch

And how it behaves

when he came home he told me that he wanted
people to see him in church,

because he was an invalid,
and it would be very nice for everyone

A Merry Christmas to all
you my dear ones

God bless us

Spirit, tell me,
yes, Tiny Tim is going to live

I see an empty seat, next to the
by the poor fireplace

and an ownerless crutch
carefully preserved.

no, no!

If such shadows remain
unchanged by the future,

the child will die.

NO

So what? If he dies, he will do well,

because it will reduce overpopulation.

Oh, God, to hear the insect

But they know me. Look!

By Uncle Scrooge

-He has contributed greatly to
to our fun and enjoyment.

and it would be ungrateful not to
to toast to your health

And I say
-To Uncle Scrooge

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New
new year to the good old man

whatever it is.

He would not accept such congratulations
coming from my lips,

but to receive it,
however.

-My life on this
My life on this globe is very short.

Tonight ends at noon

forgive me, but
I see something strange

Look!

Look! down here

Are they your children?

-They are the sons
of men

And they embrace me.

This child is Ignorance.
This child is Misery

Beware of both
but especially the child,

-Do you have no
shelter or recourse?

-Are there no prisons?

No houses of correction?

-Am I in the presence of the
Ghost of Christmas to come?

-You are going to show me the shadows
of things that have not happened,

but which will happen in
the time to come

Isn't that right, Spirit?

-I am more afraid of you than I am of the future,
I am more afraid of you

than any of the
spectres I have ever seen!

But since I know that your
purpose is to procure my good

-Guide me!
-Guide me! spirit!

At last the evil one
has got his own, eh?

So how did it happen?

God knows

-It is likely to be
the most modest of funerals

you have removed them.

-Yes.

-If I needed to keep them
after he died

why hasn't he done in his life what
life what everyone else has done?

It has what it deserves.

-Spirit? I see, I see.

Merciful God!
What is this?

-Spirit, it's scary to be here!

When I leave this place I will not forget his teachings, I assure you.
I assure you. Let's go!

--I understand you,
and I would if I could.

But it is impossible for me,
Spirit, it is impossible for me.

-Spirit, allow me to see some tenderness
tenderness related to death

Little one, my baby!

-Before I get any closer
to that tombstone you show me

answer me
a question:

Is all this the image
of what will be.

or only the image
of what can be?

-Am I the man who
lying on the bed?

no Spirit, no, no

Spirit I am not the
man I used to be

Oh, Jacob Marley!

-I don't know what to do!

-I don't know what day of the month it is

I don't know how long I have
been among the Spirits.

I do not know anything

Hello!

-What day is today?

-Huh?

-A clever boy!
A remarkable boy!

-What day is it today?
handsome boy?

-Today!
Christmas Day!

-Christmas Day!
It hasn't happened yet!

The Spirits have
done it all in one night.

They can do anything they want.
They can, no doubt about it

I hardly looked at him before.
He's an admirable caller!

-I'm going to send it to Bob Cratchit.

You will not know who sent it to you.

How are you? Merry Christmas

Allow me to ask for your forgiveness.

Will you come to see me?

-I will go!

My God!
Come in Tio

Step forward uncle

What does it mean that
you come at this hour?

-I'm very sorry, sir.
-It's only once a year,

will not be repeated
I was a bit cheerful yesterday

-Well, I have to
tell you, my friend

I am not willing for this to
to continue in such a way.

Consequently
therefore.

I'm going to raise your salary!

Merry Christmas, Bob

I'm going to give you a raise, Bob

and to strive to help you
to support your family

and this afternoon we will discuss
our business

Scrooge did more than he had said.
He did everything and infinitely more:

and about Tíny Tim, who did not die,
was for him a second father.

and it was always said that, Ebenezer
Scrooge possessed the wisdom

to respectfully celebrate
the feast of Christmas

Of all living beings
