Why is Christmas ''humbug'' to Scrooge?

Answer 1

He was not happy, he didn't like to party any longer, he didn't enjoy other people's company, he didn't want to spend money on a Christmas dinner or Cr. presents, he didn't want to donate money to the poor or to give a day off to his clerk. In a nutshell, it was a mere "humbug" designed to make him sink deep into his pockets, to give away his precious money.

Answer 2

He sees it as a time when people did honest employers out of money for a day off and still having to pay them. He didnt enjoy Christmas and this stems back to his boarding school years when he was the only child left in the school over christmas when all others were in on holiday with the own families enjoying teh celebration

Answer 3

Scrooge considers Christmas "humbug" because he sees it as a frivolous and exaggerated holiday that promotes unnecessary spending and frivolity. He also views it as a disruption to his routine and a time when people expect him to be generous, which goes against his selfish nature.

Answer 4

He believes it a time when honest employers have their money taken for no work
