Mrs. Cratchit

“	The founder of the feast, indeed! If I had him here, I would give him a piece of my mind to feast upon. And I bet he would choke on it. Hmm!	”
— Mrs. Cratchit, as portrayed by Miss Piggy, but pretty much embodying all versions of her character

Mrs. Cratchit is a character from the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. She is Bob Cratchit's wife and the mother of Tiny Tim Cratchit and his siblings. She does not think highly of Ebenezer Scrooge and is frankly vocal about her opinion.
