I was correct. As I predicted before, the Third Ghost shows Scrooge his future, and how his action will lead up to his family being glad when he'd dead. Scrooge didn't realize that this was him, however, until he begged the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come to tell him. He is then shown a grave, with his own name on it. He then begs the Ghost to change his fate, promising that he'll live a better life. He wakes up in his bed, and then does exactly what he promised.
While the end felt a little too 'and everybody lived happily ever after' for me, I did enjoy it. I felt like Dickens could have implemented something else, however, to emphasize Scrooge's willingness to change. for example, I find that in most books of this type the main character sacrifices something for a better cause. Thinking it over, though. Scrooge did. He sacrificed his riches for the better good, buying lavish gifts for the poor who cannot themselves.
