1953 Sun (Baltimore) 14 Dec. 1/6 Britons, who have been looking forward to their gayest Christmas since before the war, suddenly face the threat that a railway strike will paralyze the nation on the eve of the holiday week. A Labor party paper called union leaders who ordered the strike ‘scrooges’.

1980 Times 5 Dec. 5/8 Scrooges who wish to prove their repentance this Christmas should send out for woodcock, the most expensive delicacy.
