Scrooge notices that the Spirit 'notwithstanding his gigantic size' is able 'to accommodate himself to any place with ease... He stood beneath a low roof quite as gracefully and like a super-natural creature, as it was possible he could have done in any lofty hall'. The Rev. Geoffrey Rowell has made the observation that the stooping of the Ghost of Christmas Past is a reflection of the New Testament's statement that God stooped down to be born in human form in the Incarnation at Bethlehem.
