(complaining to Fred about Christmas) "What's Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money and for finding yourself a year older and not a penny richer!

(responding to Jacob Marley's ghost who asks him, 'Why do you doubt your senses?') "You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are." - Ebenezer Scrooge, A Christmas Carol

(As Bob Cratchit arrives late for work the day after Christmas) "A Merry Christmas to you Bob! A merrier Christmas, Bob my good fellow, than I have given you in many a year! I'll raise your salary and do whatever I can to help your struggling family. We will discuss your affairs this very afternoon over a bowl of Christmas bishop. But first, let's make up the fires. I want you to go out and buy another scuttle of coal before you dot another i, Bob Cratchit." - Ebenezer Scrooge, A Christmas Carol
