Scrooge is not having a wonderful Christmas time!

Scrooge receives a visit from his nephew, Fred. Fred is a fan of Christmas. Scrooge - not so much!

Thank you.  I am so glad that I found this version.  I teach ESL students and wanted to cover the story, but knew that the original would be too difficult for them. * * * * Kathy, Texas,
