A christmas carol is mainly about a 孤寒財主(I forgot his name), he was a very mean man since his business partner dead. One year's Christmas eve, the sprit of his partner told him that there will be three elf visit him, they are the elf of the pass, the present and the future. The three elf shown him something, then he finally realised he was too mean and unfeeling to his relatives and at the end he spends a merry christmas with his brothers and sisters and their children.
I think the author's porpose was to tell people not to be mean and unfeeling to people around them, And also not always just keep the money you earned and be a 守財奴, or else you will have 報應 after you die
