It seems that Charles Dickens cannot resist commenting on the things that he sees in the world around him, even if the things that he sees are not good. The thing is that he seems to take the philosophy that "If you can't say anything nice, then say it in a way that it seems nice." Comment on this philosophy as it is shown in "A Christmas Carol".
