CHARLES DICKENS CHRISTMAS QUOTES

Other favorite Charles Dickens Christmas quotes:

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveler, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!
from Pickwick Papers

I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year.

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable 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.

Charles Dickens Christmas quotes are probably best known through the beloved "A Christmas Carol":

"Out upon merry Christmas!  What's Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer...  If I could work my will," said Scrooge indignantly, "every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' upon his lips should be boiled with is own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.  he should!"
Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol"

"A merry Christmas, uncle!  God save you! cried a cheerful voice.  "Bah!" said Scrooge.  "Humbug!"
Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol"

Somehow he [Tiny Tim] gets thoughtful sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.  He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant for them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see.
from "A Christmas Carol"

A merry Christmas to everybody!  A happy New Year to all the world!
from "A Christmas Carol"

Then Bob proposed: "A merry Christmas to us all, my dears.  God bless us!"  Which all his family re-echoed.  "God bless us every one!" said Tiny Tim, the last of all.
from "A Christmas Carol"

It was always said of him (Scrooge) that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge.  May that be truly said of us, and all of us!
from A Christmas Carol
