Fred walks into Ebenezer's office and wishes him a Merry Christmas. Ebenezer tells Fred to leave him alone and criticizes Fred for marrying a poor woman. Fred invites Ebenezer to have dinner with him on Christmas, but Ebenezer tells him to leave. As Fred is leaving, he asks Bob Cratchit how Mrs. Cratchit and his children are doing. Bob tells him that they are all excited for Christmas and Tiny Tim seems to be getting better. On Christmas Eve, Fred is telling Fred's Wife, Miss Flora, and Mr. Tupper about his interaction with Ebenezer that day. He gives a toast to Ebenezer and Miss Flora says she hates him, but Fred tells them he feels sorry for him. On Christmas Day, Ebenezer surprises Fred and asks him if it is too late to join him for dinner. Ebenezer asks Fred's Wife for forgiveness and she does.
