Scrooge reached office early after Christmas because he wanted to give a surprise to Bob. Initially, he pretended to rebuke him, but then he announced that he was raising his salary which made Bob very happy.
Scrooge told Bob Cratchit to stop working on Christmas Eve, while Fezziwig allowed his employees to leave work early to celebrate the holiday.
In "A Christmas Carol," the next morning at the office, Bob Cratchit arrives late after having crumbled under Scrooge's criticism. He is surprised by Scrooge's change in behavior, as Scrooge is now kind, joyful, and generous. Scrooge raises Bob's salary, promises to help his struggling family, and becomes a second father to Tiny Tim.
The Ghost of Christmas Present was that years christmas - He states in early discussion with Scrooge he has over 1800 brothers meaning a new Christmas Present every year
Ebenezer Scrooge was visited by four ghosts on Christmas Eve in the novella "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. The ghosts were the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley, followed by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come.
In "A Christmas Carol," Scrooge's only visitor is his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, who appears as a ghost. Scrooge does not have any friends early in the story, but he eventually connects with his nephew Fred and with Bob Cratchit and his family.
"I see a vacant seat," replied the Ghost," in the poor chimney-corner, and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, the child will die."
Scrooge is a young man, typically portrayed in his early twenties, when he works for Fezziwig. This is in contrast to the older, miserly Scrooge we see later in "A Christmas Carol."
It was a happy time. Scrooge was included in all the activities of the business. He made friends and this is where he me Bella who he fill in love with. The atmosphere was much light than that of the boarding school Scrooge had been abandoned to in his early years
A Christmas Carol takes place in London during the early 1840s. The story begins at 3 pm, December 24, in the counting house of Ebenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley. Marley died seven years ago, but Scrooge has not removed his name from the business sign. It is bitterly cold outside, and in the counting house as well because Scrooge does not want to spend money for heat. His only nephew comes in to wish him a Merry Christmas and to invite him to a Christmas party, but Scrooge refuses the invitation and gets rid of his nephew as quickly as possible.
Scrooge was visited by the three ghosts in "A Christmas Carol" when he was an older man, likely in his late 50s or early 60s.
July.It's subjective...some people literally celebrate Christmas all year but for me personally-- before Advent is too early for me.
In Stave 2 of "A Christmas Carol," the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge on a journey to his past Christmases, including his childhood and early adulthood. Scrooge reflects on his loneliness and how he pushed away those who cared about him. The spirit shows Scrooge memories that evoke both joy and sorrow, prompting him to reflect on the choices he made that led him to his current state of isolation and bitterness.
