But the whole point of the Scrooge character, in Dickens' "Christmas
Carol", was that he reformed and celebrated Christmas with the rest of
the trolls.
He rejoined the mainstream of silly spending, false jollification and
hypocritical mainstream christianity.

Yes, a shame he bottled out.

I wonder what he was on to see all those visions.
