A Christmas Carol (Scrooge's Diary)

December 24
Whenever I walk around just to get food or supplies, the children in their winter coats and winter shoes yelling "Merry Christmas!" always ambushing me. If only people could understand what Humbug this Christmas really is! Businesses not getting any richer, town beggars not getting any healthier, having to freeze in the corners of the square with nothing but a "Merry Christmas" as an attempt to make them feel any better. Bah Humbug! Once this is over, I'll have another year until I have to hear the shrewd bells and off-tone carols played by the insignificant children on "Christmas."
For another day,
Ebenezer Scrooge
