Plot
Donald Trump, as a person who lived his life like Scrooge is currently living his, comes to hate on Scrooge for being alive as well as to warn him of what is to come. After he leaves, J. P. Morgan comes to Scrooge as the Ghost of Rich Dudes Past to remind him of how classy rich folks were in the past. He too advises Scrooge to turn around. Then Kanye West appears to represent the modern rich man, who, although a jerk, takes notice of the people before him. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come arrives as a final warning. Scrooge repents and turns around as the Announcer cuts him off.

Donald Trump:
Wake up, Scrooge, I'm about to take a Dickens of a dump

On this lonely, homely little miserable grump

I'm like the star on a Christmas tree, you're like the stump

I'm not known for my heart but you're still getting trumped

You remind me of my ex-wife in a bikini, cause you disgust me

Keep your TB from Tiny Timmy away from me, don't even touch me

I don't shake hands, I don't make fans, I ruin rappers faster than Scottish lands

Even Jay-Z knows what a pimp I am, I got my name on the front of the business, man!

My raps'll haunt you, make you think you're going insane

You're about to get whooped by three emcee's of the ethereal plane

So when the clock strikes, prepare to enter a world of Christmas pain

Cause I'm out, I got my own f***ing problems, call me 2 Chainz!

Ebenezer Scrooge:
How dare you disturb me when I'm napping in my chair

You're a crappy rap-spitting apparition

I ain't scared of this random phantom, haunt all you want, I don't care

I do not believe in ghosts and I don't believe that hair

J. P. Morgan:
Don't panic Scrooge, but you're about to crash!

I'm J. P. Morgan, the Ghost of Rich Dudes Past!

Who's properly rocking the Monopoly mustache!

Yo, I own the railroad, I run these tracks!

You got dumped on a bench, now you're pissed at the world

You should have made like Sebastian, and kissed the girl!

Because your greed is the curse that's gonna tear you apart

What good is your purse if you're poor in your heart?

Ebenezer Scrooge:
Bah humbug, your raps don't unnerve me, they're atrocious

What frightens me the most is your gross ghost proboscis!

Business and success, that's the life I've selected

So enough with your pictures from the past. I'm not affected!

Kanye West:
Well you're about to be right now

I'm the ghost of what's right now

Just take a lesson from Yeezy

You missing the point Ebeneezy

There's more to life than your work, take it easy

Even I can make time for Azizy

Best put some friends on your wish list

Cause you don't know the spirit of Christmas

If you did than you would at this moment

Be sharing your money with some of the homeless!

Ebenezer Scrooge:
No! This isn't happening, oh, this is maddening agony, wait

Actually, harkening back to the dead Donald's lecture

I still am expecting a final specter!

The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come:
Boo!

Ebenezer Scrooge:
[scream]

The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come:
You're gonna die

No one to love you and no one to cry

Alone by youself on the bed of your death

With the stench of regret on your last dying breath

Cause you've chosen the path of a selfish man

With Tiny Tim's innocent blood on your hands

The penance you pay for the way you behave

Is written as plain as the name on this grave!

Ebenezer Scrooge:
Are these the shadows of things that will be?

Or things that may be only?

If I depart from my course can they change?

Say it is thus with what you show me

I promise to mend my ways

A friend to all men is what I will become

It's Christmas! I haven't missed my chance to be different

God bless us every-

Announcer:
WHO WON?!

Trivia

 * This is the second Christmas battle done by ERB, and the sixth holiday-themed battle overall.
 * Since ERB's every two weeks schedule beginning, this battle had the longest wait for any information.
 * This is the second battle where the suggestion comes from somewhere other than YouTube (this Wiki's chat, commented by Scrawland Scribblescratch and Wachowman).
 * This also marked the first time a suggestion was taken directly from a user of the Wiki.
 * This the second battle to feature children, the first being Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley with Bentley Green.
 * This is the first time two purely fictional characters (Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come) from the same work have rapped towards one another.
 * It is also the fifth time overall that two people well known for being associated with one another are competing, after Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates, Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney, Adam vs Eve, and Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison.
 * This is the second battle to censor the "f-word", the first being Mario Bros vs Wright Bros.
 * In Mario Bros vs Wright Bros, the "f-word" was censored because Rhett & Link don't swear in their videos. In this, however, one it was censored as a reference to Trump's show, The Apprentice's censorship.
 * ​This is unless you count the first version of John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly, which was censored, and released on September 22, 2010.


 * If you listen to this carefully, there is a pun at the end when the announcer says "Who won?". This finishes Scrooge's line " God bless us everyone" by putting a pun on the word "Won" to finish the word "EveryONE".
 * The battle was released on the anniversary of the book "A Christmas Carol", the book the battle is based on.
 * This is the fourth battle to feature a mispelled title card, as Ebenezer Scrooge was spelled "Ebeneezer Scrooge", the others being Darth Vader vs Hitler (Adolph Hitler), Billy Mays vs Ben Franklin (Billy Mayes), and Columbus vs Captain Kirk (Christopher Colombus)
 * Dante told TheSteelerNation2 on Twitter that the mispelled title card and battle name was intentional and was done to keep viewers on their toes and looking for subtle mistakes.
 * ​The name of the battle was changed as of December 25th, 2013 to be accurate, but the title card and lyrics are still misspelled.
 * Behind Scrooge's window is Santa's background house mirrored (The North Pole).
 * If you look behind the background of Scrooge there is a clock which changes everytime a rapper or "ghost" for that matter comes in just like the book that the clocks strikes at 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00.
 * The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come used William Shakespeare's background (customized). Also, ERB told us that they were planning to do this.
 * The real Donald Trump tweeted "What's with this rap stuff with me and Ebenezer Scrooge?" with a link to the battle, meaning he noticed it.
 * This is the second battle where one rapper played more than 1 character, the first being Rasputin vs Stalin.
 * This is the fourth battle where 2 fictional characters go against each other at some point, after  Gandalf vs Dumbledore, Doc Brown vs Doctor Who, and Batman vs Sherlock Holmes.
 * This is the first one where one of the fictional characters is not a title character.
 * This is the second rap battle to feature more than one instrumental (3).
