Scrooge was a miser. His money was his life. Then,
one Christmas Eve, Scrooge received a trio of visitors who showed
him not only the true meaning of Christmas, but the true meaning
of life. Morrissey’s painting depicts London, circa 1843, when Dickens
first published the story. The offices of Scrooge and Marley are
in fact the pub in the city where Dickens reportedly did a great
deal of writing. As Scrooge leaves for home on that fateful Christmas
Eve he seemingly heads away from the light and joy of the holiday
represented by both the carolers and a Father Christmas further
down the street. Yet, these are actually his first steps towards
redemption. This is a piece art destined to become one of your family’s
Christmas heirlooms and holiday traditions.
