What did Scrooge learn from the second ghost?

The Ghost of Christmas Present was the second spirit that visited Scrooge that night. When he arrived Scrooge was already sensitized and didn't hesitated to follow the ghost on a tour. This time they went to see how some of Scrooge acquaintances were spending the Christmas eve.In every house they went, people were full of love, but they had no money, just the opposite of Scrooge. There was another difference between these people and Scrooge, they were happy. Scrooge realized that love and happiness were always around him, but he could not feel them, because he was always pushing people away from him. He did it so often that most people around him had a bad impression of him and began to avoid him. If he wanted change his life he had to change the way he related to people.

What did Scrooge learn from the first ghost?

     The first spirit was The Ghost of Christmas Past. The ghost took Scrooge in a small time travel, where the man could see and remember how were his Christmas in the past. Scrooge's childhood was tough, not even during Christmas people demonstrated appreciation for him and probably that is the reason why he was never able to distinguish "the Christmas Spirit". As an young adult, he had the opportunity to live with people who could have filled this lack of love. Unfortunately, he was more concerned about the lack of money, and  became lonely again. For many years Scrooge felt sad and this feeling was so constant in his life he stopped showing it. In this journey he learned that his misery was a consequence of the wrong choices he made in life and started to demonstrate his frustration for the first time in years. This time travel was the first step for him to change his future.
