Who is on a journey in the poem which opens like this?
“ A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey:
The ways deep and the weather sharp,
The very dead of winter.
And the camels galled, sore-footed, refractory,”

It’s not that well-known a poem but the mention of the camels should enable people to guess it: it’s the Magi/3 Wise Men (TS Eliot)

A Christmas Carol Who was Scrooge's lost love? (Belle) What are the chapters called? (Staves) What does Scrooge send the Cratchitt family? (A large turkey)

Some of these answers aren’t correct. Eg It’s a goose, not a turkey. There’s no name mentioned of Scrooge’s lost love.

Isn't it the prize turkey @daisypond?

What did Rod Campbell choose as the perfect present in Dear Santa

A cat

No, it’s a goose:
“There never was such a goose. Bob said he didn't believe there ever was such a goose cooked. Its tenderness and flavour, size and cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration.”

Belle is Scrooge's former fiancee - he did love her but prioritised money over her. It is definitely a turkey. What have you read?

Turkey is a relatively modern American tradition, so it can’t be that. Definitely not in Dickens’ time.

Belle is Scrooge's former fiancee - he did love her but prioritised money over her. It is definitely a turkey. What have you read?

There is no mention of a fiancée name. It is not a turkey either definitely.

“Do you know the Poulterer’s, in the next street but one, at the corner?” Scrooge inquired.
“I should hope I did,” replied the lad.
“An intelligent boy!” said Scrooge. “A remarkable boy! Do you know whether they’ve sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there?—Not the little prize Turkey: the big one?”
“What, the one as big as me?” returned the boy.
“What a delightful boy!” said Scrooge. “It’s a pleasure to talk to him. Yes, my buck!”
“It’s hanging there now,” replied the boy.
“Is it?” said Scrooge. “Go and buy it.”

different editions? Any English teachers around?

Turkey just be from the film's

In the text there’s no mention of a fiancée name: she is simply referred to as "darling" or "my love".

It’s a turkey.

In Victorian London, when Dickens wrote the Carol, Christmas day was commonly celebrated by consuming, not a grand turkey, but rather a humble goose. At that time, the turkey was an exotic bird, too expensive for the common person to purchase.

The act of Scrooge sending a gigantic prize turkey to the Cratchits represented a radical change in not only Scrooge’s character, from the cynical miser to the generous spendthrift, but also personified a radical socioeconomic transformation.

Oops, I am so wrong about the goose/turkey. It is a turkey. I hang my head in shame...

The Cratchit family get their own goose which is where all the quotes come from but Scrooge gets them a turkey.

Omg is it a turkey or a goose?!
Lol I've googled and both seem right :s

Lol thought so @daisypond.
I mean I'm remembering it from the Muppets Christmas carol 🤣

I think any questions on Christmas Carol, you need to be clear if you mean Dickens’s text, or if you mean a film or TV version and, if so, which one. Some are very different to the book.
