It's from Charles Dickens's book "A Christmas carol", where Scrooge
is visited by ghosts who explain the meaning of Christmas. There are
countless movies and stuff based on the book. One modernized version
features Bill Murray and is called "Scrooged". There's also some kind
of musical version with Kelsey Grammer (Frasier), Jason Alexander
(George from Seinfeld) and Jennifer Love Hewitt. And of course, the
Muppets have their own version.

Oh, and then there's of course Scrooge McDuck, the uncle of Donald Duck.

But for the record, Charles Dickens was British.
