ABOUT CHRISTMAS PRESENT:
The Ghost of Christmas Past is the second ghostly being to visit Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens’ classic novella “A Christmas Carol”.
Unlike the otherworldly Ghost of Christmas Past and the skeletal Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, the Present is depicted as a jovial and larger-than-life human figure.
His main role is to show Scrooge the impact of his actions in the present day, particularly regarding the Cratchit family and their frail child, Tiny Tim.
After witnessing the family all together, Scrooge notes to his surprise that the Cratchits appear happy and content, despite the poverty and squalor they live in.
1. GREEN ROBE – A deep green velvet or satin robe is the base of the outfit, symbolizing the richness and prosperity of the season.
2. WHITE FUR TRIM – Add faux white fur along the collar and cuffs for that regal, wintry look that completes the spirit’s robe.
3. GOLD ROPE BELT – A shimmering gold sash ties around the waist to give the costume a majestic and traditional finish.
4. HOLLY WREATH CROWN – A crown of holly and ivy sits atop the head, signifying festive cheer and the natural beauty of Christmas.
5. GOBLET PROP – Carry a golden goblet to represent the spirit’s feast of plenty and his celebration of abundance.
6. STAFF OR TORCH PROP – The Ghost’s staff (or torch) symbolizes guidance and the spreading of light — a reminder of generosity and joy.
7. WIG AND BEARD SET – A curly brown wig and full beard bring the character to life, adding warmth and wisdom to the look.
The Ghost of Christmas Present is a perfect choice for holiday events, themed parties, or stage performances. His lavish, larger-than-life outfit captures the opulence and joy of the season, making it a standout costume for any Christmas celebration.
For a full A Christmas Carol ensemble, pair him with Scrooge, Jacob Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Yet to Come. Together, they bring Dickens’ timeless story to life and remind everyone of the true meaning of the holidays generosity and goodwill toward all.
