A Christmas Carol is about the mean and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. He is visited on Christmas eve by the ghost of his deceased business partner who tell him before the night is over he will be visited by 3 ghosts, the ghost of Christmases past, present and future. They each appear in turn, the ghost of Christmas past revisits his neglected childhood with him, the ghost of Christmas present shows him how everyone else in his life is making the most of the holiday even if times are hard, and the ghost of Christmas future shows him what the future holds for him if he doesn't make a change. On Christmas morning he awakens and decides to heed the warning and change his ways.

That"s a mystery In the story ( which everybody calls Scrooge-after the lead character) the story concludes with something of a songfest and a reformed Scrooge, among oithers, the Cratchett family, etc- are engaged in joyous singing of Christmas Carols- from which the title is ultimately derived. The names of the song or songs are NOT mentioned in the story. Popular usage has it one of the the more UK-oriented songs- such as Deck the Halls, or God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen may have been the tune involved- others substitute the very popular and ( all ages) Silent Night. It really is not mentioned in the tale.
