When was Ebenezer Scrooge visited by 4 ghosts?
There were only three ghosts (the ghosts of past, present, and future). And they showed Scrooge how mean he was being and how less fortunate others were than him during the holidays. The ghosts taught Scrooge to be nicer and to care about others more.Actually there were four ghosts. Most people forget that Marley was a ghost, and he taught Scrooge the same lesson as the other three that was explained wonderfully above.

This was Scrooge's future, weighed down by chains forever, if he didn't change his ways.

Why didn't the ghost show Scrooge his own Christmas in the present?
I believe it was because Scrooge did not celebrate Christmas, ergo (therefore) he had no Christmas; and you cannot show what is not. Just like the third spirit did not show Scrooge how it would be if he changed, because that part of Scrooge's life had not been written. He could only be shown what was going to happen. As a matter of fact all the scenes that showed Scrooge how things had turned out were not presented to him as this is how your life will be if you change. The future for those were for others and not him. He threw away those ties long ago and can never go back. He can only deal with his present and try to make amends. I hoped this helped.

The last ghost gives sScrooge the final opportunity to change by showing him what potentially will happen should he continue on his present course.

This represents innocence and purity (as children are) The second ghost represents "The Ghost of Christmas Present" This ghost is dressed in a green robe with white fur, and a holly wreath and he comes with a scabbard with no sword and with a huge feast. This ghost seems more jovial and kingly. He represents generosity and plenty. He also represents power (the wreath and robes) but at the same time peace (no sword in his scabbard) The third ghost represents "The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come" He appears in a black hooded cloak and the only feature that is visible is a long bony arm. This ghost represents death as he appears like the grim reaper. He has no defining features other than his arm which may mean that just like the future, it is not defined.
