Describe the second spirit physically.

In Stave 3, we meet the second Spirit: the
Ghost of Christmas Present. This Spirit is tasked with teaching Scrooge about the effects of his
actions in the present moment. The Spirit is described as a "jolly giant" with a
"glowing torch" that resembled a"Plentys horn" or modern-day cornucopia.
Essentially, Scrooge sees a very large human with a lantern shaped like a horn. When the Spirit
appears, it's sitting upon a massive throne of goodies ranging from meats to mince pies to
assorted fruits. It's a sight to be seen!

The Ghost of Christmas Present wore
a "simple green robe" that had a rim of white fur running down the edges. The robe,
loosely fastened with an empty sheath, revealed the Spirit's bare chest. Its feet matched his
chest, for the Spirit wore nothing upon them. The robe is the only covering on the Spirit's
body. On its head, it wore a wreath made of holly that had icicles sporadically placed
throughout the crown. The wreath sat atop its long, dark brown curls.

The
Spirit spoke with a jovial voice creating exuberant energy. Its eyes, glimmering with joy, were
"clear and kind." Even though this Spirit seemed pleasant and welcoming, Scrooge was
terrified to look in its eyes for he knew it was going to be a long and arduous
interaction.
