At the end of all his encounters with the spirits of Christmas, Scrooge realizes that it will take more than just celebrating Christmas in December to change his life (and his heart). He will take the meaning of Christmas—service to others, generosity, kindness, fairness, love—throughout the entire year. This can be seen in his commitment to Tiny Tim, who does not die because of the care given him by Ebenezer Scrooge. With the proper help, Tiny Tim can overcome his disability. Though this is not often the case, Scrooge sees that his money (and his talent for making money) can be used as a force for good. His opening up his heart to Fred and his family allows him to come out of his office and into the world. His goodness to Bob Cratchit as an employer displays his realization of his obligations to look after the welfare of his employees. His willingness to open up his heart to others around displays the true meaning of Christmas as presented by Dickens.
