* AdaptationExpansion; Scrooge going to church after his reformation was an offhand mention in the book and is here expanded on when he goes, realizes he doesn't know the words to the hymns, and a kind parishioner helps him remember.

* TruerToTheText: This adaptation includes three scenes almost always omitted from other adaptations -- the lighthouse workers, coal miners, and sailors on a ship at sea. We see them in montages with different groups of people in different sections of the country singing ''Silent Night''. Ignorance and Want are also included, as are the young debtors relieved at Scrooge's death and the other chained spirits Marley shows Scrooge. (On the other hand, Scrooge making amends with the charity collectors gets AdaptedOut.)
