Introduction

You have been invited to a Victorian New Year's Day Party, honoring Ebenezer Scrooge, of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. We will be celebrating the changes that he has made to his life in response to the visits by the three spirits on Christmas Eve.

If you accept this invitation, you must be prepared to leave behind the 21st Century blue jeans, technology, music, and fast food. Attending a party during this time period was very different from today. Prepare yourself well! The more knowledge you have, the more fun you'll have at the party.
