Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in Charles Dickens' 1843
novel, A Christmas Carol. He is a very cold-hearted, selfish man,
who has no love for Christmas, children, or anything that even
provokes happiness. "The cold within him froze his old features,
nipped his pointed nose, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue, and
he spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice ..." His last name has
come into the English language as a byword for miserliness and
misanthropy, traits displayed by Scrooge in the exaggerated manner
for which Dickens is well-known. The story of his transformation by
the three Ghosts of Christmas (Past, Present, and Yet to Come) has
become a defining tale of the Christmas holiday in some cultures.
Scrooge's phrase, "Bah, humbug!" has been used to express disgust
with Christmas traditions in modern times. Let's dispense with old
traditions and ring in new transformations! - Let's transform the
meaning of "Bah, Humbug!" to signify one really fun time!
