What is scrooge's attitude towards christmas?

Answer 1

It is a term misused to describe someone who does not like Christmas. In reality, as Charles Dickens said of Scrooge: it was always said of him that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge.

Answer 2

Scrooge's attitude towards Christmas was of "disinterest" and possible even "hate". In his own words, he defined it as "HUMBUG!" and said that it was a waste of money. He didn't see the idea of Christmas. The reason being is because of past experiences during Christmas that left a negative impact on him. As a child, he used to sit in the boarding house at his school and watch as families used to come to pick up his fellow classmates and take them home for Christmas. While him - he would stay at the school over Christmas with no celebration and no loving care from his father. He also would remember that a few years after those sad Christmases when he had an apprenticeship, he met and fell in love with a lovely lady named Belle. They were engaged to be married when his greed of money overcame his love for Belle and on Christmas Day, she broke up with him when he failed to meet up with her for Christmas at the appointed time. And then there is the time when his only friend and business partner Jacob Marley died on Christmas eve, leaving his poor old soul alone in this "miserable" world. Marley had the same outlook on the world and the same selfish greed of money, but he was Scrooge's friend and dying on Christmas Eve left an emptiness in Scrooge's soul. With these three sad occurrences on Christmas, it is not hard to see why Scrooge had no happiness whatsoever at the thought of a Christmas celebration. In his mind, he had nothing to celebrate on Christmas although there are many things that he could have found worth celebrating, but to him, his life was lonely, he had lost the love of his life - Belle, and he had lost his only friend - Marley.
