  • The Ghost of Christmas Present is one of three fictional Christmas Spirits who visit Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol to offer him a chance of redemption. Appearing in Stave Three, the Ghost of Christmas Present is presented in the drawing by John Leech as resembling early-Victorian images of Father Christmas, and thus is a personification of the Christmas spirit. The Ghost of Christmas Present becomes the mouthpiece for Dickens's view on social reform and Christian charity: generosity and goodwill to all men – especially to the poor – and celebration of Christmas Day. The Spirit contrasts with Scrooge’s miserly views of Christmas and charity and first appears to Scrooge on a throne made of traditional Christmas foodstuffs that would have been familiar to Dickens's more prosperous readers. Each of the Ghosts of Christmas represents a different time in Scrooge's life, and the Ghost of Christmas Present is concerned with the present Christmas Day in which the novella is set. (en)
