Williams's magnificent poem The First Christmas tells of the monumental event that Christians have celebrated for more than two thousand years: the birth of Jesus in a stable in Bethlehem.

If you love the classic poem Twas the Night Before Christmas, you'll treasure The First Christmas and place it at the center of your family's annual Christmas celebrations.

Even though his nephew invites him to Christmas dinner, Scrooge refuses, preferring to be alone. That night Scrooge is visited by the ghost of Marley who warns him that he will be visited by three spirits. The first is the ghost of Christmas past who takes Scrooge on a journey through the Christmas's of his childhood. Scrooge is reminded of how much fun he had during those years. The second spirit is the ghost of Christmas Present, who takes Scrooge on a tour of his nephew and Bob Cratchit's holiday. We learn that Bob has a sickly son named Tiny Tim and that Scrooge pays him so little the Cratchit family lives in near poverty.When the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come arrives things take a bleak turn.
