* Even though the future vision of Tiny Tim's death is a massive TearJerker, it's heartwarming to see the Cratchit family comforting each other, and promising never to forget Tim and to always be inspired by the memory of his goodness. Also, when Bob goes up to the bedroom to sit beside Tim's body, the room is described as being lighted cheerfully and hung with Christmas decorations, which shows that as Tim was dying the family did their best to make him happy and make his last Christmas as festive as they could.



* In the novel (though it's sadly left out of many adaptations), the Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge what Belle was up to on the day Marley and Marley died. She is so happy--she has a whole bunch of kids, a loving husband, and a wonderfully pleasant home. It's sad, because that could've been the life that Scrooge had, but it's also really sweet to see.

* Fred is a walking ball of sunshine: he cheerfully deflects his grumpy uncle's grumbling, holds no grudges, and gracefully welcomes his uncle over for Christmas. \n Earlier, when he is asked about his uncle, he explains that the reason he isn't mad at Scrooge and is willing to put up with his insults is that they, along with Scrooge locking himself up in his own dark empty home at Christmas, hurt only Scrooge himself and still leave Fred free to enjoy the holiday even if he wishes to share it.

* In the Flintstones' take on the story during the play the gang is putting on many of the actors get sick, forcing other characters to take on their roles. This leads to Wilma being forced to pull double duty, first as Belle and then as the Donations Collector Scrooge encountered. Fred, at first startled by the last minute change, decides to rewrite the ending right there, declaring that the Collector is, in fact, Belle herself, and begging her forgiveness. Wilma joins in and Scrooge and Belle are reunited.
