"Lighted cheerfully and hung with Christmas"
• Tiny Tim has a sacrificial function; he must die for Scrooge's redemption.
• "Green" has biblical connotation of the Garden of Eden, a heavenly paradise, envisioning that despite his impoverished existence, he still held on to Christian values of generosity and kindness, so he will have a heavenly death where he is valued and remembered
• On a perfunctory level, the adverb "cheerfully", compounded with "Christmas" which is a metaphor for a time of kindness and generosity, suggest that his family are wishing to preserve his memory, almost as if he was too good to die ("as good as gold")
• The motif of light alludes to enlightenment, clearly illuminating how despite his own struggles, he prioritised the welfare of others, trying to bring "light" and joy to people's lives where possible, and therefore will be cherished by many
