A CHRISTMAS CAROL FRED QUOTES

“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.”

“If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”

“There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,” returned the nephew. “Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas-time, when it has come round—apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that—as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time.”

“What right have you to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? You’re poor enough.”

“Come, then. What’s to be done? I suppose you’ll be wanting all day to-morrow.”

“A merrier Christmas, Bob, my good fellow, than I have given you for many a year! I’ll raise your salary, and endeavour to assist your struggling family, and we will discuss your affairs this very afternoon over a Christmas bowl of smoking bishop, Bob!”

“He has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. Is that so much that he deserves this praise?”

“I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why cannot we be friends?”

“I am sorry, with all my heart, to find you so resolute. We have never had any quarrel, to which I have been a party. But I have made the trial in homage to Christmas, and I’ll keep my Christmas humour to the last.”

“Nay, uncle, but you never came to see me before that happened. Why give it as a reason for not coming now?”

“But if you had judged from the numbers of people on their way to friendly gatherings, you might have thought that no one was at home to give them welcome when they got there, instead of every house expecting company, and piling up its fires half-chimney high.”

“Christmas was a blessed time for the showing of the powers of mutual goodwill and cheerful giving.”

“He laughed all over himself, from his shoes to his organ of benevolence, and called out in a comfortable, oily, rich, fat, jovial voice: ‘Yo ho, there! Ebenezer! Dick!'”

“I have no patience with him,” observed Scrooge’s nephew. “Oh! I have!” said Scrooge’s niece. “I am sorry for him; I couldn’t be angry with him if I tried. Who suffers by his ill whims? Himself, always.”

“We’re not only gonna bring these people their joy. We’re gonna send them off with a full belly and a warm heart.”

(The Muppet Christmas Carol, 1992)

“As long as I live I will never forget the dog and the look on his face. I’ll keep Christmas in my own way.”

(Scrooged, 1988)

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh, tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone!” FEEL GOOD TODAY QUOTES
