The Three Spirits Christmas are The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come!.
They appeared in the novel a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, published in 1843!.
A Christmas Carol is a Victorian morality tale of an old and bitter miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, who undergoes a profound experience of redemption over the course of one night!. Mr!. Scrooge is a financier/money-changer who has devoted his life to the accumulation of wealth!. He holds anything other than money in contempt, including friendship, love and the Christmas season!.
The Ghost of Christmas Past, a strange mixture of young and old, male and female, with a light shining from the crown of its head, appears at the stroke of one!. It leads Scrooge on a journey to some of his past Christmases, where key events shaped his life and character!. He sees his late sister Fan, who intervened to rescue him from lonely exile at boarding school, and, recalling his recent treatment of Fan's son Fred, Scrooge feels the first stirrings of regret!. They revisit a merry Christmas party given by Fezziwig, Scrooge's kindly apprentice-master, and Scrooge thinks guiltily of his own behaviour toward Bob Cratchit!. Finally, he is reminded how his love of money lost him the love of his life, Belle, and the happiness this cost him!. Furious, Scrooge turns on the spirit, snuffs it like a candle with its cap, and finds himself crumpling his bed sheets and wakes up and feels remorseful!.
Scrooge wakes at the stroke of one, confused to find it is still night!. After a time he rises and finds the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, in an adjoining room, on a throne made of Christmas food and drink!. This spirit, a great genial man in a green coat lined with fur, takes him through the bustling streets of London on the current Christmas morning, sprinkling the essence of Christmas onto the happy populace!. They observe the meagre but happy Christmas celebrations of the Cratchit family and the sweet nature of their lame son Tiny Tim, and when the Spirit foretells an early death for the child if things remain unchanged, Scrooge is distraught!. He is shown what others think of him: the Cratchits toast him, but reluctantly, and "a shadow was cast over the party for a full five minutes"!. Scrooge's nephew and his friends gently mock his miserly behaviour at their Christmas party, but Fred maintains his uncle's potential for change, and Scrooge demonstrates a childlike enjoyment of the celebrations!.
They travel far and wide, and see how even the most wretched of people mark Christmas in some way, whatever their circumstances!. The Ghost, however, grows visibly older, and explains he must die that night!. The Ghost tortures Scrooge!. He shows Scrooge two pitiful children huddled under his robes who personify the major causes of suffering in the world, "Ignorance" and "Want", with a grim warning that the former is especially harmful!. At the end of the visitation, the bell strikes twelve!. The Ghost of Christmas Present vanishes and the third spirit appears to Scrooge!.
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come takes the form of a grim spectre, robed in black, who does not speak and whose body is entirely hidden except for one pointing hand!. This spirit frightens Scrooge more than the others, and harrows him with a vision of a future Christmas with the Cratchit family bereft of Tiny Tim!. A rich miser, whose death saddens nobody and whose home and corpse have been robbed by ghoulish attendants, is revealed to be Scrooge himself: this is the fate that awaits him!. Without it explicitly being said, Scrooge learns that he can avoid the future he has been shown and alter the fate of Tiny Tim, but only if he changes!. Weeping, he swears to do so, and awakes to find that all three spirits have visited in just one night, and that it is Christmas morning!.
