On page one, "I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffinnail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade". Just look for sentences with as in them and it's most likely a metaphor
In Chapter Three of A Christmas Carol, a metaphor is used to describe Scrooge's transformation when he sees the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge is likened to a "sponge" that is soaking up the lessons and emotions of the scene, indicating his receptiveness to change and growth. This metaphor helps convey the idea that Scrooge is becoming more open and empathetic through his experiences with the spirits.
Although relatively short, this novella is heavy with metaphors. It was written rapidly (within two weeks) and was intended to address the abuses of child labor. Dickens saw it was basically an oral tale--he would later perform readings of the story on stage--imagined in musical terms. Tiny Tim is a metaphor for the hundreds of children injured, crippled or killed while working in factories. Scrooge represents a society of employers who value only their bottom line, regardless of the human cost. The children called Ignorance and Want represent the prevailing conditions of all of the lower classes.

solitary as an oyster

The Ghost himself is a metaphor. In particular in stave 3 is the use of two children to represent mans own doing - these are Want (the girl) and Ignorance (the boy)
One of the first is "he was dead, as dead as a door nail."
