‘I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry,’
"Scrooge was the ogre of the family" the mention of his name “cast a dark shadow”
“There sat a jolly giant,glorious to see,who bore a glowing torch, in shape not unlike plenty’s horn, and held it up, high up, to shed its light on scrooge”
"Laughed all over himself from his shoes to his organ of benevolence"
“He has the power to render us happy or unhappy… the happiness he gives, is… as if it cost a fortune”
“A small pudding for a large family”
“I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!”
“I will honour christmas in my heart, I will live in the past, present and the future”
“A merry Christmas, Bob … I will raise your salary”
