One thing separates Elaina and other eleven year olds she comes in contact with. Elaina is the great-granddaughter of Ebenezer Scrooge. Elaina Eleanor Scrooge is much like her rich relative once was. She too is selfish, despiteful, and mean. She typically gets everything she wants. Christmas is the most important day of the year for her. Her family gives her everything on her list, or else.
This Christmas, the family has had enough, and refuses to get what she requests. After screaming and yelling at her parents and adopted sister, Michelle Marley, she storms into her room and slams the door.
A loud bang startles Elaina. Through the wall, walks her deceased great-grandfather Ebenezer Scrooge. He tries to explain the importance of Christmas and his fears that she too will end up on the path he was grateful to leave behind. Elaina refuses to take heed, and goes on to blame him for ruining her life. She suggests it is because of him losing most of his riches to charitable works, and their family taking in his business partner’s great-granddaughter, that she finds herself not getting what she wants.

The first visitor is a child named Saint Nicolas. Saint explains that he is the real Santa Clause. “Who can really fit down a chimney?” he asks. “A kid, that’s who. Who knows if a kid has really been bad or good? A child. We know the truth, even after we lie to adults.”
He goes on to tell her he is from Neverland, and gets Holiday help from the lost boys. This makes no sense to Elaina. Saint goes on to ask her if the North Pole and elves makes more sense.

The Ghost of Christmas Present showed Scrooge many happenings from the people Scrooge knows, but the Ghost also showed him people he doesn’t know and probably never will, people who are suffering themselves. After the Ghost showed Scrooge the Cratchit’s household and his nephew’s house, he showed him people far from home, people in jails, people in hospitals, and people who were simply struggling. The Ghost blessed each of those people, the people that he had no relation to, the people whom he knew nothing about. Their struggles were relieved, the struggling more patient, the sick healed, and so on.

The memory was important because it shows Scrooge cared for others wellbeing.

The spirit takes him on a trip down Memory Lane to remember a few moments in Scrooge’s past when he appreciated a few gestures other people did for him or with him. He realizes that, after seeing himself reading in a room with objects he remembers, he says, “‘There was a boy singing a Christmas Carol at my door last night. I should like to have given him something.’” Then, after seeing himself when he was an apprentice and watching how well his boss treated him, he explicitly states in the text, “‘I would like to say a word or two to my clerk right now.’” This shows a change in Scrooge.
