POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHRISTMAS
Scrooge's nephew expresses a positive attitude towards Christmas, describing it as a good, kind, forgiving, charitable, and pleasant time, and believes it has done him good and will continue to do so.
SCROOGE'S NEPHEW
But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas-time, when it has come round--apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that--as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it _has_ done me good and _will_ do me good; and I say, God bless it!'
