I was thinking about this exact thing earlier today.So, he can watch the Christmas Carol every year and still not understand the moral of the story, or Tiny Tim as a character? What does he even like about the story? The fact it has ghosts? The fact it is good and pure, and can therefore be defiled?
The whole message of Christmas Carol is to be more introspective, to really look deep within ones self and try to reflect on yourself and the life you're leading. And that it's never too late to change when you don't like what you see.
Patrick doesn't realize it, but he IS Scrooge.
But he's just Scroogey enough he'll never realize it. And he'll never be capable of introspection or changing himself for the better.
What's even sadder is how on the nose Christmas Carol is, it's literally a message so lacking subtlety that children are capable of picking up on it and reflecting on themselves and it's moral. Only a narcissistic personality as fat as Pat's could be blind to it.
