It meant that since they are in that time, 1800's, there were ghosts before him and he was the most recent.
The Ghost of Christmas Present was that years christmas - He states in early discussion with Scrooge he has over 1800 brothers meaning a new Christmas Present every year
He learns thats there has been more than 1800 of his brothers before him.
The more than eighteen hundred brothers of the Ghost of Christmas Present represent the passing of time and the fleeting nature of life. They symbolize the continuous cycle of life and death, highlighting the importance of living in the present moment.
The spirit means that there are 1,800 other spirits like him who exist to help guide and instruct others, similar to his role in helping Scrooge. This implies there are many spiritual entities that have a similar purpose in the story.
The Ghost of Christmas Present is a stranger to Scrooge because he represents the present moment, which Scrooge has been disconnected from due to his focus on the past and future. The ghost's role is to show Scrooge what he is missing by ignoring the joy and goodwill around him in the present.
Although it is never stated implicitly in the story, we are led to believe that the Ghost of Christmas Present is but the latest of those who rise on Christmas Day every year, and live but the one day. Hence the Spirit's aging is particularly noticeable, especially as the day winds down towards midnight. This, the Spirit declares, is when he leaves the earth. He has already told Scrooge that he has over 1800 brothers who have gone before him, which makes sense considering that the story takes place towards the mid-1800's.
Christmas 1800 I think was a Thursday.
While it was written and published in 1843, and the narrative travels through several time periods, I've always thought that the story's "present" was set in the mid-1820s. Evidence includes Marley's pigtails and waistcoat from an earlier era, several older words and spelling conventions, the wintry weather (the winter of 1843 was unusually warm), the descriptions of several places in the story that seem to place them in an earlier time, and the narrator's knowledge of Tiny Tim's and Scrooge's future. The Ghost of Christmas Present indicates he has over 1800 brothers, so the earliest would be 1802.
In "A Christmas Carol," we learn that Fred is a kind and compassionate person who represents the spirit of Christmas. He is resilient, forgiving, and values relationships and happiness over material possessions. Despite his uncle Scrooge's miserly behavior, Fred continues to invite him to Christmas celebrations, showing his ability to love unconditionally.
No, not until about 1800(ish).
