"Merry Christmas!. Out upon Merry Christmas! What's Christmas time to you but a time to paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, and not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books and having every item in'em throught a round dozen of months presented dead against you? (Scrooge)
“But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round –apart from the veneration due to its sacred name an origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that- as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.”
(Scrooge's nephew)
