The story, A Christmas Carol" was written by Charles Dickens in 1843. According to the story, "apples and oranges were put upon the table, and a shovel-full of chestnuts on the fire."
CHRISTMAS DINNER AT CRATCHIT'S HOUSE A simple room, in a simple four-room flat, appears. In the flat, Mrs. Cratchit, Peter Cratchit, and Belinda Cratchit, are preparing for Christmas dinner. Peter stirs a pot over the fire that is filled with potatoes. Belinda and Mrs. Cratchit lay the cloth on the table, then set out mismatched crockery. Meg and Will (Cratchits) enter carrying the precious goose between them as if it were unearthed treasure. The Cratchits set out their dinner. The young Cratchits pull up chairs and get cutlery. Martha (Cratchit) pours claret in the mismatched cups. Peter is in charge of the potatoes and Bob and Mrs. Cratchit put out the few side dishes. Bob serves the goose and gravy… Mrs. Cratchits watches nervously as Bob puts goose on the last plate. Scrooge looks over her shoulder. MRS. CRATCHIT: Lovely, Bob! Only one tiny bone left. (They all laugh. They all eat.)Finally, Mrs. Cratchit serves the pudding.
