[to his uncle Scrooge and referring to Christmas] It's 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 hearts freely.

Ebenezer Scrooge

  • [after his visits by the Spirits] Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the world!

Spirit of Christmas Past

  • I am the Spirit of Christmas Past. I am here to show you the shadows of things that have happened. Look back beyond the gulf of vanished years...

Marley's Ghost

  • Look well, Ebenezer Scrooge, for only you can see me.
  • My spirit never walked beyond the limits of our money changing hole. I cannot rest; I cannot stay; I cannot linger - anywhere.
