Baa, humbug!

What da infamous "wolf in sheep's clothing" miser from mid-19th-century London had to say about Christmas.
Ebeneezer Scrooge sure was awfully "ram-headed" to say "Baa, humbug!" to any member of the London "flock" who wished him a Merry Christmas... I wonder if he'd have said the same thing nowadays, when many of us speak of the end-of-year period by using the "politically correct" title of "winter holidays"? He considered himself pretty shrewd, though, so maybe he would have thought that everyone was just trying to "pull the wool over his eyes" by still referring to basically the same holiday, even though they were indeed using a different title?
