Again i brought you some wonderful, miracle, terrific christmas songs along with the classic Christmas story summary, especially Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's song is some kind of fresh air, it was very nice band.
Christmas Carols
Mr Scrooge is a financier/money-changer who has spent his life concentrating on the accumulation of wealth and little else. He holds anything other than money in contempt including friendship, love and the Christmas season.
At one in the morning the first spirit appears and introduces himself as The Ghost of Christmas Past. This spirit leads Scrooge on a journey into some of the happiest and saddest moments of Scrooge's past, events that would largely shape the current Scrooge. These include the mistreatment of Scrooge by his uncaring father (who did not visit his son at boarding school, not even at Christmas), the loss of a great love sacrificed for his devotion to business, and the death of his sister, the only other person who ever showed love and compassion for him. Unable to stand these painful memories and his growing regret of them, Scrooge covers
the spirit with the large candle snuffer she carries and he is returned to his room with the clock being set back to 12 midnight.

At one in the morning (again) the second spirit arrives, the Ghost of Christmas Present, who shows him the meagre Christmas celebrations of the Cratchit family, the sweet nature of their crippled son, Tiny Tim, and a possible early death for the child; this prospect is the immediate
catalyst for his change of heart. They also show the faith of Scrooge's nephew in his uncle's potential for change, a concept that slowly warms Scrooge to the idea that he can reinvent himself. To further drive the point, the Ghost reveals two pitiful children who huddle under his robes which personify the major causes of suffering in the world, "Ignorance" and "Want", with a grim warning that the former is especially harmful. Again at the end of the visitation, Scrooge is returned to his room and the clock is set back to midnight.

The third spirit arrives just after midnight. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to
Come, a grim spectre much more frightening than the other spirits,
(which takes the form of a figure, completely robed in black, so that no part
is visible except one pointing hand), harrows Scrooge with visions of the Cratchit family bereft of Tiny Tim, of Scrooge's own lonely death and final torment, and the cold, avaricious reactions of the people around him after his passing. Without explicitly being said, Scrooge can avoid his own fate, and that of Tiny Tim— but only if he changes
In the end, Scrooge changes his life and reverts to the generous, kind-hearted soul he was in his youth before the death of his sister.

Also check out a great film about christmas "Scrooged". 'Bill Murray is back among the ghosts. Only this time, it's three against one.' This film is both emotional and joyful, strongly recommended! It's one of my favorite!
