## Summary

The article explores the possibility of the story of Scrooge from 'A Christmas Carol' happening in a universe with quantum time-loops. It discusses the effects of the visits from the Ghost of Christmas Past and the Ghost of Christmas Present on Scrooge, and the paradox involving the Ghost of Christmas Yet-To-Come. The article also mentions the concept of self-consistency in resolving time-travel paradoxes.
