Back in his bedroom, Scrooge again promises to remember all that he has seen and to make amends. He is glad to see that his bed curtains are still in place, and it seems that he still has time to change his ways. He feels that his face is wet from the tears he began crying in this conflict with the Spirit. Not knowing quite what to do with himself, he looks around the room and laughs. Then he realizes he doesn't know how much time has passed, so he opens the window and yells out to a young boy asking what day it is. The boy responds that it is Christmas day. Scrooge is amazed that somehow the Spirits all visited him in one night. He then tells the boy to run to the poultry shop and ask that they bring him the prize turkey in the window. Scrooge decides that he'll send it to Bob Cratchit and writes down the address. The boy returns back with the poulterer quickly and Scrooge decides that the bird is so large it must be delivered by cab. Scrooge chuckles as he pays for the tukey, the cab, and the boy; then he sits in a chair and laughs until he cries.

Scrooge attempts to shave, but is difficult with his shaking hands. He puts on good clothes and heads out on the streets. Some cheerful people say good morning to him, and Scrooge says it back. He runs into the man who came to his office the day before asking for a donation and whispers to him the amount he would like to give. The man is astounded and promises to visit him soon. Scrooge then comes to his nephew's house and asks to be let inside. Fred and his wife are quite shocked to see him. Scrooge watched as all the guests from his vision arrived, and they ate, drank, and played silly games.

The next morning Scrooge arrives at the office early, hoping Bob Cratchit will be late, which he is. When Bob dashed to his stool, eighteen minutes late, Scrooge pretended to be angry. He asked what made him so late and said he wouldn't stand for it any longer. Then he yelled at Bob that he was going to have to raise his salary. Bob trembled as Scrooge shouted, "Merry Christmas." Scrooge vowed to help Bob, and he was true to his word. Scrooge became a second father to Tiny Tim and a completely changed man. People in town laughed at how Ebenezer Scrooge somehow morphed overnight into a good man who always kept Christmas well.
