A Christmas Carol is a famous 1843 novel by British author Charles Dickens.
The story is of a solitary and misanthropic miser in Victorian London named Ebenezer Scrooge who gets visited by three ghosts on the night before Christmas who warn him through visions of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come to change his ways. Scrooge has a change of heart over the night and by morning becomes a better person, even saving Tiny Tim, the very ill son of his clerk Bob Cratchit. It has been adapted to countless film and television specials over the decades and, inevitably, referenced on The Simpsons too in particular the 1951 film adaptation "Scrooge".
Many of the references are scenes with Mr. Burns parodying Ebenezer Scrooge.
