For all the good that has been done on Christmas, I can’t see how anyone could object to it. For example, men of wealth would sometimes pay the debts of those in debtor’s prisons at Christmas time. Charitable giving always goes up during this time of year. Only a Scrooge would object to that.

The focus of the story is the fact that religion has followed culture on the matter of Christmas. Charity is certainly admirable, but charity was a virtue taught and practiced long before churches started observing Christmas.
