Listen to Stave Four and Finish Traditions.

We went through Stave Three today. We discussed all the places the Ghost of Christmas Present took Scrooge. He realized that "Christmas spirit" does not require wealth or Christmas presents. Those who lacked many basic essentials demonstrated joy and giving on Christmas Eve. Try to remember all the places Scrooge and the Spirit visited.
