Refers to a foreigner “transplant” who takes the festive cheer out of Christmas due to his differing and/or grumpy views about the holiday and its origins.
I am sure that there have been plenty of immigrinches ever since the time when Christmas was first celebrated, but the most famous example was probably Ebeneezer Scrooge... the book implies that he was a "native" of London, but one would seriously question how he could have felt so antagonistic towards Christmas if he had truly been exposed to the infectious joy and generosity that was typically displayed in London every year during that period... he must actually have been "from away", as we say here in Maine.
