This will be shown on worldwide telly during the holidays anyway, so I see no reason at all why I shouldn't mention it here: A Christmas Carol by a certain Mr Dickens. Those who don't want to read the text online will find a description of the plot together with the old illustrations on a page titled not unsurpringly A Christmas Carol.
