In Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Ebenezer Scrooge eats his Christmas dinner at the home of his nephew, Fred. Initially reluctant to join the festivities, Scrooge ultimately experiences a change of heart and joyfully participates in the celebrations.
Scrooge feels that Christmas was simple a time when people sought to eat and live beyond their means and this to him is abhorrent therefore when asked to join Fred and his wife for Christmas Scrooges retort was "you keep Christmas in your way and I will in mine!"
Scrooge doesnt accept it because he did not like Christmas at that time.
Scrooge displays contempt for Christmas by: refusing to join his nephew for Christmas dinner turning away fundraisers trying to help the poor getting angry at the singers saying "Ba Humbug" at everyone elses displays of Christmas cheer.
No, Scrooge's niece did not play the harp in the story "A Christmas Carol". She was portrayed as a warm and loving character who extended an invitation for Scrooge to join her family for Christmas dinner.
He invites his old uncle to dine with him and his family on Christmas Day
All of them: he doesn't decorate his house with handles, ivy and hollies, he doesn't cook or buy a Christmas dinner, he doesn't light a great fire in the chimney, he sits all alone in the cold, damp darkness and eats gruel.
He (Fred) loved and felt sorry for Uncle Ebenezer and swore to continue to ask him to join he and his wife every Christmas despite the fact that Scrooge had cut him off without a penny. Scrooge was later to hear when the ghost of Christmas Past took him to Fans home his sister Fan beg him on her death-bed to are for "her boy" and this is the very first time that Scrooge realises what errors he has made
He says this: ``He's a comical old fellow,'' said Scrooge's nephew, ``that's the truth: and not so pleasant as he might be." In the game Yes or No, Fred shared this description ". . . he was thinking of an animal, a live animal, rather a disagreeable animal, a savage animal, an animal that growled and grunted sometimes, and talked sometimes, and lived in London, and walked about the streets, and wasn't made a show of, and wasn't led by anybody, and didn't live in a menagerie, and was never killed in a market, and was not a horse, or an ass, or a cow, or a bull, or a tiger, or a dog, or a pig, or a cat, or a bear."
He was Scrooge's first employer. He was happy and loved throwing dancing parties, especially on Christmas. He employed Scrooge as a young man who was still happy and poor and not worried about anything, before he turned mean and selfish.
Scrooge was welcomed warmly by Fred and his guests at his home. They were kind and understanding towards him, despite Scrooge's initial reluctance to join in the festivities. Fred's home was filled with joy and laughter, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for Scrooge to be a part of.
He is very imotional seeing the young Scrooge sitting lonely in is school roome and then when visiting Fezziwigs warehouse he shows join athe scene of the Chrstmas party and mumbles a regret at not being able to speak kind words to his employee Bob
