Since when is Scrooge a science-fiction novel? Okay the proper title is ( a Christmas Carol) but everybody recognizes the lead character, Ebeneezer Scrooge. fantasy, certainly, but in no way sci-fi. Scrooge first came out in l843.<what does that have to do with the question that was just asked?))
It is when Scrooge wakes in his own bed - this is especially poignant following the visit og the last ghost when it is Christmas Morning

In "A Christmas Carol," the time scheme involves the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, being visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come in a non-linear fashion. This allows Scrooge to revisit pivotal moments in his life and see the consequences of his actions. The time scheme serves to show Scrooge the error of his ways and ultimately leads to his redemption.
