Fred is Scrooges nephew
Both Bob Cratchit and Scrooges Nephew refer to Christmas Eve in their communication with him
Fred is Scrooge's nephew in "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. He is characterized by his cheerful and generous nature, in contrast to Scrooge's miserly ways. Fred invites Scrooge to his Christmas dinner every year, despite his uncle's grumpiness and refusal to attend.
The visit by the nephew and two gentleness to scrooges office, Marley's visit, each of the ghosts visits thereafter scrooges change of heart to keep Christmas in his heart ever after
Fred badly wants to have a loving relationship with is uncle and believes that Scrooge's 'Scroogy-ness' hurts Scrooge himself the most.
Both seek not to like Christmas but change
Scrooge reacted negatively to his nephew's question by dismissing Christmas as a "humbug" and expressing his contempt for the holiday festivities.
Scrooge feels that Christmas was simple a time when people sought to eat and live beyond their means and this to him is abhorrent therefore when asked to join Fred and his wife for Christmas Scrooges retort was "you keep Christmas in your way and I will in mine!"
Scrooge's nephew, Fred, lived in a house in a pleasant part of the city, likely not too far from Scrooge's office. He invited Scrooge to his Christmas dinner every year despite his uncle's curmudgeonly behavior.
The Ghost of Christmas Present stops by to invite Scrooge to a meal at the home of Bob Cratchit, to show him the joy and love of the holiday season.
