Who better to inspire us with holiday cheer than the Fezziwigs? Scrooge’s foil reminds us of the importance of giving; it’s the thought that counts the most and makes you the most memorable. Scrooge, moved by the memory of Fezziwig’s vivacious spirit, defends his former employer’s economy to the Ghost of Christmas Past: “‘Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ‘em up: what then? The happiness he gives us is quite as great as if it cost a fortune’” (Dickens, 48). This decorative 1887 edition is abundantly illustrated by I.M. Gaugengigl and T.V.
