Chapter 1 Topic: The Meaning of Christmas
ne Christmas Eve old Scrooge sat busy in his counting-house. It was cold, bleak, biting weather, and it was foggy. The city clocks had only
just gone three, but it was quite dark already. Every office was lit by
candles. The door of Scrooge’s counting-house was open. He wanted to keep his eyes upon
his clerk who in a cold little room beyond, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk’s fire was so very much smaller that it looked like
one coal. But he couldn’t put more coal o n it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room.
“Merry Christmas, uncle God save you” cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge’s nephew who suddenly appeared at the door.
“Bah” said Scrooge. “Humbug” “Christmas a humbug, uncle” said Scrooge’s nephew. “you don’t mean
that, I am sure?” “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Cristmas What right have to be merry?
What reason have you to be merry? You’re poor enough.”
