Christmas Thank You Message

What is the theme or message of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens?
Thank you for your help!

The theme is that you must love others and to hold Christmas dear to your heart and then you'll be happy.

Mankind is your business!

Basically, people should look at each other and be kind to one another, not only for Christmas but all year round.

Scrooge should not have been such a Scrooge to Bob Cratchit. Fezziwig was a much better model for Scrooge to follow.

Similarly, Bob Cratchit gift to the people the charity behind Scrooge through his office.

Love is everything.
God is love, so we must love him back. He loves us and we should love one another as well.

Redemption, while you are alive, you can change your habits and making life better for those around you, which in turn make your life better.

Enjoy Christmas and remember those less fortunate than ourselves. Guard against misery and ignorance (revealed by the ghost of Christmas present). And it is never too late for people like Scrooge to change their habits and improve the lives of others by true charity. It is a cautionary tale made accessible through a traditional ghost story. Death was a very real part of Victorian life - infant mortality, such as potential loss of Tiny Tim, an experience that most readers would be familiar to Dickens. Scrooge is an exaggeration of the fear of poverty that haunts much of the period - to the extent that it places the accumulation of wealth on his personal happiness and his childhood sweetheart. The fate that awaits Scrooge is shown by the ghosts, especially Marley and the redemption that Scrooge undergoes outlines of the story.

The story takes on two major themes, social injustice and poverty, the relationship between the two, their causes and effects, and how (in a period before the welfare state we have now come to know) the scourge of poverty can be relieved by the actions of those better off.

Merry Christmas (or Bah, humbug).
