“Now go out there and scare the pants off some people then shove their hearts full of Christmas Spirit. Happy Holiday Haunting, everyone!...“
It's Frost Mason's 100th year at the CCD (Christmas Carol Department) and retirement is on the horizon. Every year in December, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future work in teams to save their assigned Scrooge (a crotchety, Bah Humbug, can't be bothered human) and attempt to show them the error of their ways and reinstill the Christmas Spirit.
“YASS - You Are So Scrooged”
This season, Frost and her team have their work cut out for them as their target Scrooge (Jay Nichols) isn't the normal grump. As Christmas draws nearer and Jay's future continually looks bleak, Frost has to take some drastic measures. Will jumping way off the board, ignoring the rules, and going rogue be enough to save Jay? Or will the consequences of a failed Scrooged start a spiral from which Frost, and her team, won't be able to return?
Where my Scrooge fans at!!?? Hi! Hello! Yes, you...I see you! Attention please! You listening? OK. If you've ever read or watched the many, many adaptations of A Christmas Carol and loved them ... then The Present is for you.
This isn't just a regular retelling. This is D-Day (Dickens Day) where ghosts don't just take one night and try to change the outcome of their Scrooge's life. They research, infiltrate, plan, and work their magic. When not working...they party hard with hot chocolate, sweets, BYOB (bring your own bells) bashes and just have fun.
Of course, you will be hit with the emotional moments, maybe tear up a little (or just cry ... crying is ok), and have your heart fill with the joy of Christmas. If you're looking for a holiday read to kick off your seasonal reading...this is it.
