Goofs: Revealing mistakes: Near the beginning of the movie, some children are sliding on some “ice” which ripples under their feet – it’s actually some sort of plastic sheeting.
 

“Made for television version of the Charles Dickens classic of the same name. An old man who hates Christmas is taught the true meaning and spirit of Christmas by ghosts who show him his own past and present. He is also shown what the future holds for him if he doesn’t change his behavior. Written by Jason Ihle <jrihl@conncoll.edu>”
