Scrooge is told to "Expect the first to-morrow, when the bell tolls One.''Expect the second on the next night at the same hour. The third upon the next night when the last stroke of Twelve has ceased to vibrate. However, it will appear that on Christmas Morning Scrooge revels that the ghosts have done all their visits in the one night
1 am
Marley is the first ghost and no time is given. The first two spirits of Christmas were to arrive at 1 in the morning.
He arrives at what is the end of twelth night (although it is still Chritmas eve in real time)
It was to sound the time when the Ghosts were to appear. In the later stave ite bells rang out to welcome Christamas
In "A Christmas Carol," Scrooge does not miss his chance at redemption when visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Through these encounters, he learns the error of his ways and ultimately transforms into a compassionate and joyous person, embracing the true spirit of Christmas.
twelve dats of Christmas
There were four spirits that visited Scrooge that night: the Spirit of his dead partner Marley; the Spirit of Christmas Past, who "took" Scrooge back in time to Christmases--both good and bad--when Scrooge was younger; the Spirit of Christmas Present, who "took" him to his nephew Fred's home and the Crachit's home, to show him how joyously they were enjoying the season, in spite of being poor; and the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come, who "took" him into the future to scenes relating to Scrooge's own death. Scrooge convinced the last Spirit to leave by promising it he would change.The two spirits under the robe of the Ghost of Christmas Present were Ignorance and Want.
"The Twelve Days of Christmas." And it isn't a carol. It's just a Christmas song.
