What was important to Scrooge in the past? What is important now to Scrooge?

At the beginning of the story, Scrooge was a greedy man who loved money.  His goal in life was to make money and keep it.  Most beggars would not ask Scrooge for money because they knew he was not a charitable man.  He paid his clerk, Bob Cratchit, very little.  He gave him a small amount of coal to stay warm with, while he used a larger amount for himself.  He refused to celebrate Christmas.  

At the end of the story, Scrooge became a happy, generous man.  He bought a large turkey for Bob Cratchit and his family.  He greeted people in the street with "Merry Christmas!"  This was something he never would have done before.  He visited his nephew.  Then he visited the Cratchit family and gave Bob a raise.  Scrooge also became like a second father to Tiny Tim.  He became a man who celebrated and loved Christmas.
