Having been visited by all three ghosts (four including Marley) and having seen horrible visions, Scrooge wakes up Christmas morning. Grateful for the chance to change things, Scrooge can barely contain himself as he shouts "Merry Christmas!" through the streets. He apologizes to a man he had previously been rude to, and sends a Christmas turkey to the Cratchits' house.
Happily, this change in attitude is not short-lived. He ultimately offers Bob Cratchit a large raise and offers to financially assist his family (especially Tiny Tim, Bob's crippled young son). He does so, and becomes a benefactor and father figure for Tim. People in the town wonder about his sudden change of heart, but Scrooge ends the story happier than ever.
