DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. If you were to be confronted with your own past, present, or future, which would seem the most scary (or most uncomfortable) to face? Why?

2. One of the primary lessons in Scrooge’s story is the importance of generosity. Scrooge hoarded all his wealth (stored it in “barns” while all the people around him suffered). Why do you think we all have a tendency to do this in one way or another?

3. What is one way that you can show generosity this holiday season?

4. The final line of A Christmas Carol is, “And so, as Tiny Tim observed, ‘God bless us, Every One!’” Share some of the blessings in your life that you’re grateful for right now!

5. What is your favorite Christmas movie (or TV special or book or song)? How does your favorite holiday entertainment point to Jesus and remind you of the true meaning of Christmas?
