What does this quote (from a Christmas Carol) mean? What does this quote (from a Christmas Carol) mean? Could u please put it in your own words 'There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,' returned the nephew. 'Christmas among the rest. 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!'

Does "A Christmas Carol" have a christian undertone to it? Does it? Im writing a paper on a christmas book, i chose this one and I have critically analyze it and my professor said this might be an option to persue. To me it seems to, there seems to be the idea of forgiveness and redemption and the Marley incident sort of reminded me of punishment and hell. But are the spirits just random spirits that are just products of Charles Dickens imaginaton or do they bring sort of Christian ideals with them. What do you guys think?
