Background

Peter Cratchit is a resident of 2 Porter Street, Camden Town in London, England. His parents are Bob Cratchit and Mrs. Cratchit and his siblings are Martha Cratchit, Belinda Cratchit, Mary Cratchit, and Tiny Tim.

During the events of A Christmas Carol (1951) played by John Charlesworth

The day before Christmas, during dinner, Bob tells the rest of the family that he has heard of a job for Peter that would bring in 5 and 6 pence a week. They make a toast and Tiny Tim wishes blessings upon everyone. Bob offers a toast to Ebenezer Scrooge and the family begrudgingly makes a toast. On Christmas day, a large goose arrives at the house and Tiny Tim correctly thinks it is from Ebenezer.
