“If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding,
and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.” — Ebenezer Scrooge
“You don't believe in me,” observed the Ghost. “I don't,” said Scrooge.
Scrooge is an archaic English verb meaning 'to squeeze'.

The Book
In a hurry for income and determined to publish in time for the Christmas holiday season, Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol" in just 6 weeks, from mid-October to 2 December of 1843
while also working on new installments of "Martin Chuzzlewit". He used no notes or outline, and the manuscript was immediately delivered to the printer Bradbury and Evans.
The book was published on December 19th, and sold out by Christmas Eve.
