Ebenezer Scrooge



Ebenezer Scrooge is a fictional character invented by Charles Dickens in his book, A Christmas Carol. Scrooge hates Christmas and he is shown scenes associated with Christmas by ghosts of Christmas tenses.

In modern usage, a "Scrooge" is a stubborn person. In 1988, Albert Giordino referred to James Sandecker as a Scrooge when it comes to clandestine operations that are not in the fiscal budget.
