Answer:
Christmas is a kind, forgiving, charitable and pleasant time of the year.
Explanation:
In Stave one of the "The Christmas Carol", readers can explore the theme of the story through words like "a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time" and "few of us are
endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of
warmth".
One of the themes of the Stave one is that Christmas is a kind, forgiving, charitable and pleasant time of the year. This can seen in the conversations between Scrooge and his nephew. Scrooge felt that Christmas was a "humbag" while his nephew felt that it was the best time to the year.
