Ghost of Christmas Present
Generous festive spirit
The Ghost of Christmas Present is the second of three spirits who visit Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens's *A Christmas Carol* (1843).
A jovial giant in a green robe, he represents the abundance and warmth of the current Christmas season, showing Scrooge how others celebrate despite hardship.
The phrase sometimes describes anyone who embodies generous holiday spirit: She arrived with arms full of gifts like the Ghost of Christmas Present.
