Ah Scooge. I’m sure we all know a few. If you’re not familiar with the story, Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character from the Charles Dickens’ novella, A Christmas Carol. He notoriously starts the story hating Christmas and his tale has become a holiday staple. Now, he’s also inspired one of the Christmas dating terms. Scrooging is basically when someone dumps you before Christmas, simply so they don’t have to get you a gift. Yup, a merry time indeed! You can usually see the signs of this happening, if they start to distance themselves before the holidays. Fun. If you want to see how someone feels about Christmas when dating, check out CLiKD!
