The love of a family
The nephew of Scrooge, Fred, comes to Scrooge's business to invite him to a Christmas celebration. Despite Scrooge's grumpiness and refusal, Fred continues to extend the invitation with warmth and cheer.
During the visit to his nephew's house, Scrooge observes his nephew playing games, sharing jokes, and enjoying each other's company. They are engaged in a festive gathering, celebrating Christmas with laughter and good cheer. Scrooge sees how much love and happiness they derive from spending time together.
Scrooge's relationship with his nephew was a distant relationship in emotion. Left to his care by his sister, Scrooge saw to it that his nephew was well provided for, but because of his overly focused work ethics and the fact that he didn't really know what family was, he never spent time with his nephew. He turned down many invitations over the years to spend Christmas with his nephew and it wasn't until the end, after being visited by the three spirits of Christmas, that Scrooge realized what he had been missing.

A "scrooge" is a nickname for somebody who is a "party pooper" during Christmas time, or basically, somebody who looks at Christmas as a time for frivolous money spending and snooty kids, and doesn't enjoy any aspect of it. Scrooge was the name of the main character in Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol. An example of "scrooge" being used in a sentence: "Don't be such a scrooge. Christmas is about giving, not receiving."
Besides Christmas, Scrooge includes topics like his business, work ethic, and the appreciation of wealth in his conversation with his nephew. He dismisses the spirit of Christmas and criticizes those who celebrate it.
