the ghost of Christmas present (:
This refers to the only one that Scrooge preempts, the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come where Scrooge states to the ghost that it is there to show him visions of what is to be and therefore the ghost should "lead on"
Because he wanted to
The second spirit to visit scrooge in A Christmas Carol is the Ghost of Christmas Present. The ghost takes Scrooge to both his nephew and employee's home in the present time. He also appears with two spirit children, Ignorance and Want.
The ghost takes Scrooge to the Corn Exchange - Here Scrooge would have been seen on a daily bases in his familiar place. On his visit with the ghost Scrooge hears business men speak of a sudden death and asking what will happen to the deceased properties. The ghost does not get involved in any discussion throughout his visitation to Scrooge
Scrooge then sees the Ghost of Christmas present for the first time
In "A Christmas Carol," the three ghosts visit Ebenezer Scrooge. The Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come show Scrooge visions of his past, present, and future to help him reflect on his life and change his ways.
Scrooge was never a ghost in the story
Yes, he showed Scrooge his own grave, untended, as no one would care or mourn his death if he did not change his ways.
The third ghost that came to visit Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol was the Ghost of Christmas Present, if you include Marley's ghost, but if you do not include Marley, then the third (and therefore last) ghost was that of the Christmas Yet to Come, a spectral ghost whose most terrifying feature was that of his muted voice.
To show Scrooge that no matter where you are you can keep christmas in your heart
The ghost of Christmas Present (Marley is normally not considered one of the foretold ghosts).
