Linus: I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.

A Christmas Carol
This version is almost completely true to Dickens' classic novel. Some differences: In the book, we spend a lot more time in the present, especially at the houses of his employee and nephew. The novel also shows us strife around the globe - in caves and on ships - that is relieved by Christmas joy. Also, the whole "future" scene with the horse chase and Scrooge becoming smaller is not in the novel. In fact, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in the novel is nearly immobile except for the pointing finger.
