The Cratchit Family Christmas Dinner
The Spirit takes Scrooge to the home of Bob Cratchit. The family is preparing their Christmas dinner, a goose, with great excitement. Mrs. Cratchit, Belinda, and Martha are busy, while Master Peter Cratchit and the two younger Cratchits help. Bob arrives with Tiny Tim on his shoulder, who bears a little crutch and has his limbs supported by an iron frame. The family enjoys a meagre but joyful feast, with the goose being a great success. After dinner, Bob proposes a toast: 'A merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!' and Tiny Tim adds, 'God bless us every one!'
