24th December 1843 for Jacob Marley and the three ghosts from 1am Christmas Day
He states its "Christmas day"
To buy the biggest turkey from the Poulterer
The Ghost warned scrooge to beware of the children. The boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy!
Scrooge tells Bob to have the day off if he really must but be in all the earlier the very next day
In the book by Charles Dickens, Scrooge did not throw the boy money to buy the Turkey. Scrooge told the boy, "Go and buy it, and tell 'em to bring it here, that I may give them the direction where to take it. Come back with the man, and I'll give you a shilling. Come back with him in less that five minutes, and I'll give you half-a-crown!" When they brought the turkey back to his house, he paid for the turkey and recompensed the boy.
He says this in reference to a solitary boy left at Christmas time in School - The "poor boy" was in fact Scrooge
The boy who stood in front of Scrooge's house on Christmas was a "solitary child, neglected by his friends." He was a poor, ragged, and hungry boy who wished Scrooge a Merry Christmas but was chased away by him.

In Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Scrooge sends a young boy to buy a turkey on Christmas Day, which he plans to send to the Cratchit's as a surprise. The original passage is as follows:"It's Christmas Day!" said Scrooge to himself. "I haven't missed it. The Spirits have done it all in one night. They can do anything they like. Of course they can. Of course they can. Hallo, my fine fellow!" "Hallo!" returned the boy. "Do you know the Poulterer's, in the next street but one, at the corner?" Scrooge inquired. "I should hope I did," replied the lad. "An intelligent boy!" said Scrooge. "A remarkable boy! Do you know whether they"ve sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there -- Not the little prize Turkey: the big one?" "What, the one as big as me?" returned the boy. "What a delightful boy!" said Scrooge. "It's a pleasure to talk to him. Yes, my buck." "It's hanging there now," replied the boy. "Is it?" said Scrooge. "Go and buy it." "Walk-er!" exclaimed the boy. "No, no," said Scrooge, "I am in earnest. Go and buy it, and tell them to bring it here, that I may give them the direction where to take it. Come back with the man, and I'll give you a shilling. Come back with him in less than five minutes and I'll give you half-a-crown." The boy was off like a shot. He must have had a steady hand at a trigger who could have got a shot off half so fast. "I'll send it to Bob Cratchit's!" whispered Scrooge, rubbing his hands, and splitting with a laugh. "He shan't know who sends it. It's twice the size of Tiny Tim."
Marley appeared to Scrooge and warned him about changing his behavior. Marley also told Scrooge he would be visited by three ghosts.
I am Christmas past.
