Do ppl realize that Ebinizer Scrooge isn’t bad because he dislikes Christmas, he’s bad because he’s greedy and selfish and pays his employees poverty wages and has no concern whether other people live or die
OP your tags ... warming myself with your delicious tea it's too good not to share
dickens: scrooge hates christmas because it’s about being generous and spending time with others with no profit motive, and all he cares about is profit.
audience: wow, can’t believe that scrooge hates having fun.
dickens: literally every relationship he’s ever had has been ruined because he cared more about making money than about other people.
audience: can’t believe a guy cut off his whole family because he doesn’t like tinsel.
dickens, growing more frustrated: he’s so obsessed with profit that he won’t even heat his own house if it costs him money! he complains about losing a single day of income from businesses being closed on christmas! CHRISTMAS IS A METAPHOR FOR BEING A DECENT PERSON!
audience: how can you hate cookies and presents, you scrooge?
