Contrary to Scrooge's sad Christmas, the Ghost showed him the loving and solemn gathering of Bob Cratchit's family. Scrooge has made clear that Christmas is a feast of love and no matter how little you have at Christmas, all it takes is love. The ghost has shown Scrooge how Bob Cratchit celebrates his Christmas and that the family has little to eat and sits at the table wearing their best old clothes.
In addition, Scrooge met Tiny Tim. He is the son of Bob Cratchit and very ill. Scrooge seems to be thinking about Tiny Tim and his health ever since. He hopes Tiny Tim will not die because he does not want his family to cope with his death. The last Ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to come has shown him an old man lying dead in his bed and his belongings were simply taken away by strangers because it would be bad if the good things were going to rot.
The ghost showed him the grave of Tiny Tim, whereupon Scrooge was extremely sad and suffered with the family of Tiny Tim. Scrooge then found out that the man who was lying in the bed was himself and that he could not handle that he would die alone. He promised the Spirit that he will change and that he does not want to go on living like this.
In my opinion the Ghost of Christmas Yet to come hast he greatest influence on Ebenezer Scrooge because the ghost has shown Scrooge how the future will to be if Scrooge does not change. Tiny Tim will die and the family will visit the grave at Christmas and Scrooge could not handle that.
The ghost has shown Scrooge that the people treat him as bad as Scrooge had done when he had been alive. The ghost has shown him what effect his bad handling of people can have and that it all gets worse and that he will be living alone and die alone.
