He joined in the merriment
When young, Scrooge worked for Mr. Fezziwig, a genial and generous man.
Initially Fezziwig's Trading company and then he and Marley started their won business trading, lending money and renting property
He was unlocking his front door in readiness to enter his home
According to Wikipedia/Fezziwig: "Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig are characters featured in Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol". Mr. Fezziwig is the proprieter of a warehouse business for whom Ebenezer Scrooge worked as an apprentice; and in Stave 2 of The Christmas Carol, has a Christmas ball, where Scrooge meets his love of his life, Belle. The character is a happy man with a large Welsh Wig. Old Fezziwig liked to dance to "Sir Roger de Coverley", a lively tune of the 1800's." Fezziwig has three daughters, "beaming and lovable."
Fezzwig stopped all his staff (incouding Scrooge) working as the days work was done and now it was time to celebrate the freast of Christmas. They were taken in to the main hall where others worked and the work tables were drawn back to make space for dancing
Young Scrooge was very fond of Fezziwig. He admired his generosity.
Well, Scrooge's girlfriend is Belle. Belle left Scrooge because he was becoming, well, a scrooge, a penny-pincher, a greedy man. I don't believe he actually gets back with her; I think she marries someone else. It's sad.
Scrooge was apprenticed to Fezziwig early in his career and worked for him as a young man. Fezziwig was a kind and generous employer who treated Scrooge well. He taught Scrooge about the importance of compassion and kindness in business, which had a lasting impact on Scrooge's life.
Scrooge worked for Fezziwig when he was young, but his business partner was Jacob Marley.
In Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" Scrooge tells the Ghost of Christmas Past that his old master and boss Fezziwig was a good master because of his kindness and generosity. Fezziwig treated cared for his workers as if they were his family and that begins to make Scrooge regret his actions toward those who have worked for him.
His old employer Fezziwig, Belle and the other employees that served with him when he worked there
