Changes

The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge back to his unhappy childhood, his unfeeling father, the loss of his sister giving birth to Fred (his nephew and only relative), and the breakup of his engagement to Belle due to his move of money.

The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge the conditions his miserly ways have on Bob Cratchit and his family.  Though they are poor the family is quite happy, though deeply concerned about the health of the youngest child, Tiny Tim.  The Ghost informs Scrooge that if things do not change Tiny Tim will die (implying that his condition is not fatal, but Crachit's meager salary will not provide the care he needs), then on two separate occasions uses Scrooge's comments to the charitable solicitors against him.

Finally the Ghost of Christmas Future shows the death of a person disliked by the city:  several men will attend his funeral only if lunch is provided, a couple rejoices that the man's death gives them more time to repay the debt, and three criminals steal the deceased's belongings.  The Ghost then takes Scrooge to an unkempt grave with a solitary name on the headstone: '''SCROOGE''', implying that the deceased was Scrooge himself.
