In the first chapter, or stave, of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, Ebeneezer Scrooge receives a visit from his nephew Fred. Fred has come to invite Scrooge to Christmas dinner. Before Fred can issue an invitation, however, he must first answer to Scrooge's confrontation about whether Fred has any cause to be merry at this time of year. Fred arrives with the shout, "A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!" Scrooge responds to this with his famous catch-phrase, "Bah! Humbug!" Fred then questions whether Scrooge really means to call Christmas a humbug, and this is what opens the door to Scrooge's rant about people who are poor not really having any reason to be merry. Fred points out the flaw in this logic by asking Scrooge how he can be so dismal and morose since he is rich. Scrooge continues his explanation of the faulty logic of being merry while poor, saying that Christmas is "a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books and having every item in 'em through a round dozen of months presented dead against you." Fred very eloquently rebuts Scrooge's speech, and Bob Cratchit applauds him from the other room.

Fred is not the only one who Scrooge believes is too poor to be merry.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
