Verified Answer :

Dear Nephew,

It is me, your Uncle Scrooge. I think that the Christmas season is a humbug, and is a waste of time. I have an aspiration in making money, and the Christmas time just distracts me from my work, so I loose precious money! I shall not be obliged to helping the poor, as they can help themselves. I hope you can now see why I think of the Christmas season as odious nephew.



From,

Uncle Scrooge
