In A Christmas Carol, the second ghost that visits Ebenezer Scrooge represents the present, and is known as the Ghost of Christmas Present. It is his job to show how others are celebrating Christmas that night. On their tour, the ghost shows Scrooge several scenes, including miners and workers on a ship, both of whom manage to celebrate the holiday joyously despite being away from their respective families. Closer to home, they view the family of Bob Cratchit, Scrooge's assistant. While they do not have much money, the Cratchits manage to enjoy a loving and heartfelt holiday. The ghost also helps Scrooge see Fred's party. Fred, Scrooge's nephew, had invited Scrooge to the party, but Scrooge had declined. In his "fly-over," Scrooge gets a first hand look at the fun he missed. All in all, Scrooge sees multiple scenes of celebration as part of his tour with the Ghost of Christmas Present.
