Both Bob Cratchit and Scrooges Nephew refer to Christmas Eve in their communication with him
His nephew, Fred and two gentlemen collecting for charity.
Because he has been previously 'visited', on Christmas Eve, by the three spirits of Christmas; Past, Present and Future ... allowing him to make amends with his nephew!
Ebenezer Scrooge from the novel 'A Christmas Carol'
I believe it was his nephew, inviting him to the Christmas party. It also was the other person who worked with him. The best versions of scrooge I believe are the black and white ones and the animated one!
Scrooge and the Ghost arrive just as the party on Christmas Eve has finished dinner, and the guests are enjoying some after-dinner talk. Scrooge overhears his nephew express his opinion of Scrooge -- a feeling not of anger, but of pity, pointing out that his ill-temper hurts nobody but himself. The party then goes into music, followed by a game of blind-man's bluff, and then the Victorian game "How, When, and Where." It ended with a game of "Yes or No," similar to our present game of "20 Questions." The nephew Fred says he is thinking of an animal who lives in London, and eventually his sister figures out it is Scrooge.

Ebenezer Scrooge
In the novel A Christmas Carol, the spirits of Christmas - past, present and still to come - visit Ebenezer Scrooge.But first comes the ghost of his late partner, Jacob Marley, who serves to prepare Scrooge for the other three.
The story of 'A Christmas Carol' revolves around an old man, known as Ebenezer Scrooge, who is an extreme miser. He does not believe in the spirit of Christmas and his only concern is accumulation of wealth. Nothing in this world is as dear to him as money. Scrooge's business partner, Jacob Marley, has died and on this Christmas Eve, exactly seven years have passed since his death. Scrooge and his clerk, Bob Cratchit, are working on Christmas Eve also. Scrooge's nephew, Fred, comes to wish him on Christmas, but Scrooge drives him away. Scrooge finally declares the day off and comes back home.
Technically, the first ghost to visit Scrooge was the Ghost of Marley (Jacob Marley, Scrooge's former business partner who died 7 Christmas Eve's earlier).
