However on Christmas Day, he should buy

No, he doesn’t.
Because he is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. I think nobody likes a friend like Scrooge.
Because he used to be just like Scrooge,
God don’t like this kind of people.
