Answer:
Christmas with his wife, and is always friendly to Scrooge, whilst Scrooge is always harsh to Fred, ("Bah, Humbug"). Dickens uses the weather to depict how frigid it becomes when Scrooge is around; his argument is that he is so cruel that his meanness has invaded the atmosphere. It implies that Scrooge is just concerned about himself and his money.
In contrast, his nephew considers Christmas to be a "kind, forgiving, benevolent, delightful time," but Scrooge responds, "I'll keep Christmas in my own way, and you keep it your way." Scrooge often refers to himself ("I," "my") and so seems cruel.
