It was the afternoon of Christmas Eve and Scrooge was conscious of a thousand odors, each one connected with a thousand thoughts and hopes and joys and cares long, long forgotten.

What it means
Our interpretation.
On Christmas Eve afternoon, Scrooge is flooded by scents, each one tied to countless long-lost memories of hope, delight and worry. The sentence shows how smell can reopen buried feelings all at once. It suggests old feelings returning through sensations that had seemed long gone.
