About The Reformed Miser

Few characters in Christmas tradition are as unforgettable as the miser who refuses to share his warmth, until he can't anymore. A clanking chain, a guttering candle, a succession of ghostly visitors: the warnings come in the night and the reckoning arrives before dawn. By morning he is changed, and the cold man who hoarded every coal and coin discovers that giving is the only thing that truly fills a house.
