Ebenezer Scrooge era un hombre avaro. Su avaricia y frialdad arrugaron sus facciones, enrojecieron sus ojos y tornaron sus labios de color azul.

Para el Sr. Scrooge, Navidad era una fecha caracterizada por la ineficiencia. Detestaba la ineficiencia, el gasto innecesario de dinero en regalos para personas mal agradecidas y caridades para holgazanes y vagabundos indignos de ayuda.
